The Allure of Blue: Celebrating 50 Years of Innovation with the GMWB5000SS-2

In celebration of Casio’s 50th anniversary, the brand unveils a stunning tribute to its legacy with the GMWB5000SS-2, a timepiece that embodies the spirit of innovation and resilience. At the heart of this commemorative release lies the color blue—Casio’s official corporate hue—chosen not only for its visual appeal but for the values it represents: trust, intelligence, and stability.

The GMWB5000SS-2 is a modern reinterpretation of the original G-SHOCK DW-5000C, the watch that marked the beginning of the G-SHOCK brand. This full-metal masterpiece features a deep navy ion-plated bezel and band, accented with a unique scratched finish that gives each piece a rugged, battle-worn character. The dial is framed by a mirror-finished inner bezel, adding a sleek contrast to the matte textures and enhancing the watch’s bold, industrial aesthetic.

Beyond its striking appearance, the GMWB5000SS-2 is packed with advanced features: Tough Solar charging, Multi-Band 6 radio-controlled timekeeping, Bluetooth connectivity, and shock resistance—all housed in a stainless steel case that’s both durable and refined. The watch also includes Super Illuminator LED backlighting, world time, stopwatch, countdown timer, and five daily alarms, making it as functional as it is stylish.

This limited-edition model is more than just a watch—it’s a symbol of Casio’s journey through five decades of pushing boundaries and redefining what a timepiece can be. Whether you're a long-time G-SHOCK collector or a newcomer drawn to its bold design, the GMWB5000SS-2 offers a compelling blend of heritage and modernity.
