Octagonal form
exudes toughnes
The bezel adopts the octagonal design motif the G-SHOCK has featured since the very first watch. Undergoing painstaking processes of forging, cutting and polishing, the bezel is precisely crafted — from its intricately shaped face to the form of its back, which is the key to the precision fit it makes with the inner case. A round hairline finish is applied to the top surface and a mirror polish to the sides, giving the bezel a beautiful gleam.
Minimalist beauty of form:
Wafer-thin design
For the inner case, metal is replaced with glass fiber-reinforced resin to provide strength, lightness, and processability. This more flexible design and installation structure provides more freedom in the use of multi-function modules and in exterior designs. As a foundation, this structure supports further G-SHOCK evolution, allowing more advanced lighting, radio control, solar power, Bluetooth® capability, heart rate monitoring and more.
The uneven design of the case and bezel surface guards the buttons and watch glass from direct shocks. In addition, the band connects to the case in a curved shape to prevent direct impact to the case back, as well.
