5600 SERIES,5600 SERIES GW5000U-1

Pursuing further toughness while inheriting the DNA of the first G-SHOCK model (DW5000) the GW5000U-1 is constructed with a solid metal case and a screw back.
This timepiece is also equipped with advanced technology, Multi-Band 6 that receives standard radio waves from 6 stations around the world.
The metal case and screw back are made of DLC (diamond-like) to enhance wear resistance, and the screw back is also mirror-processed to create a luxurious finish. In addition, the resin band uses soft urethane that is comfortable to wear.
Evolved from the G-SHOCK original design that was born in 1983, the GW5000U-1 is a discerning model that boasts technology and a high-quality finish.
