G-Shock Digital & Analogue Solar Watch Full Metal Series AWM500GD-9A
The original digital-Analogue G-SHOCK is now in metal. Welcome the AW-500-1E, the 1989 release reimagined in a striking metal edition.
With meticulous attention to detail, we’ve brought back the iconic resin-clad original, now in stunning stainless steel. The bezel, case, and band are ion plated to achieve the original shade of black, and rounded links in the metal bracelet band mirror the design of its predecessor. Features a screw back case and bold Arabic numerals at the 15, 30, and 45 markers for a clear, quick read.
More than just a nostalgic journey back in time, this watch calibrates with radio-wave time signals and comes equipped with the Tough Solar power system, a high-brightness full-auto double LED light, and World Time to ensure convenient functionality and precision timekeeping.
