　Casio Computer Co., Ltd. has announced a new model in its G-SHOCK shock-resistant watch series, based on the GMW-B5000, which features a full metal case with the square form of the original model. The newly unveiled GMW-B5000MB, with its chic black and silver exterior, combines various surface treatments to create a high-quality black finish.

　This product uses a variety of polishing processes to create different textures and textures, including honing, which involves spraying fine abrasive grains onto the workpiece and then polishing the surface. Honing is mainly used on the exterior, and the surface is given a black IP treatment to achieve the matte texture unique to this product.

　The bezel and strap sides have a hairline finish, which reduces the shine while retaining the texture of the metal. The screws and push buttons on the side of the case are mirror-finished, which emphasizes the contrast with the hairline surface and gives some parts a glossy impression.

　The top surface of the bezel is given a black IP finish and then given a hairline finish, a new technique that exposes the stainless steel underneath. The color of the stainless steel harmonizes with the matte texture of the entire watch, creating a subdued feel. The combination of these various surface treatments results in a beautiful, high-quality appearance down to the smallest detail.

　In terms of functionality, the watch is equipped with a standard radio wave reception function and a mobile link function. By downloading the dedicated app "G-SHOCK Connected" and connecting it to a smartphone, accurate time information can be obtained. The app can also be used to set alarms, world time, and other time settings, and it also has a convenient reminder and phone finder function.
