It is expected that many 40th anniversary models will be released. But as early as April, “the 40th anniversary model of the big favorite” will be released .

The big favorite of the square type G-SHOCK 40th anniversary model!

The 40th anniversary model is finally here. All 3 models are great.

The left is the full metal G-SHOCK gold special model GMW-B5000PG-9, and the right is the full metal G-SHOCK silver special model GMW-B5000PS-1.

And the model in the center is the DW-5040PG-1, the reprint model of the first G-SHOCK and the 40th anniversary model.

It is a big favorite among the big favorites of the 40th anniversary model! Every model is sure to be a big hit.

DW-5040PG-1

It is a reprint model of the first G-SHOCK that everyone wants .

Models based on the first machine are rare and rarely released.

The PROJECT TEAM “Tough” logo has a special meaning

This 40th anniversary model has the logo “PROJECT TEAM ‘Tough'” at the bottom.

This logo has a special meaning. Quote.

PROJECT TEAM “Tough”
This is the name of the team that worked with IBE Kikuo, the father of G-SHOCK, to develop the very first DW-5000C model. In 1983, the team brought IBE’s vision of constructing “a durable watch that would not break even if dropped” to fruition with a tough watch featuring an unparalleled shock-resistant structure. To commemorate the completion of that very first G-SHOCK, a special model inscribed with the team’s name was distributed only to the eight team members.
RECRYSTALLIZED SERIES – 40th Anniversary Model

Originally, there were only eight G-SHOCKs with the “PROJECT TEAM “Tough”” logo, which were distributed only to the development members and were not for sale .

As the popularity of G-SHOCK increased and this episode spreaded, Casio began to attach models with this logo to commemorative models.

And it is released every 5th anniversary. If you miss it this time, there is a high possibility that you won’t be able to get it until the 45th anniversary.

Full metal G-SHOCK with a special pattern!

Next, a model that incorporates special processing on the exterior surface of the popular full metal G-SHOCK was added to the lineup as the 40th anniversary model.

GMW-B5000PS-1

GMW-B5000PG-9

The GMW-B5000P is part of the RECRYSTALLIZED series, and it seems that the exterior has undergone a process called “deep hardening treatment”. The features are as follows.

In terms of appearance, it is also interesting that the LCD is the opposite of the normal model .

The normal model GMW-B5000D is “normal liquid crystal for silver” and “reverse liquid crystal for gold” , but the model released this time is reversed.

Unexpectedly, “FROGMAN” appears in full metal!

Introducing one model that you are interested in other than the square type G-SHOCK.
Surprisingly, FROGMAN is now available as a full metal MR-G series!

This time, the FROGMAN series which is popular as a G-SHOCK diver’s specification, is now available as MR-G! It’s full metal.

This is a surprise.

MR-G is the highest grade G-SHOCK line and last year, the square type G-SHOCK became the first MR-G by adopting titanium, giving a surprise.

It’s also pretty expensive, and hard to come by .

MR-G FROGMAN will also become very popular and those who can obtain it will be in a state of good luck.

The reason why FROGMAN is asymmetrical is that it is easy to bend the wrist attached to the left hand when diving .

FROGMAN is so popular that some people only wear FROGMAN.

This concludes the introduction of the 3 square-type G-SHOCK models + 1 model that will be released in April 2023.
