G-SHOCK 40TH ANNIVERSARY MODEL
RECRYSTALLIZED SERIES
Introducing G-SHOCK 40th anniversary watches based on the very first G-SHOCK,
now made with stainless steel recrystallization and deep-layer hardening processes
Precisely 40 years since the April 1983 debut of the G-SHOCK,
this trio of new timepieces celebrates the four-decade mark by presenting an exciting new take on the very first G-SHOCK using innovative materials and finishes.
Combine stainless steel recrystallization and deep-layer hardening technologies for the first time in a G-SHOCK,
the inventive designs of these watches deliver unparalleled toughness and beauty.
FEATURES
Original design benefits from strengthening techniques: Stainless steel recrystallization and deep-layer hardening
The use of stainless steel recrystallization and deep-layer hardening processes makes for an exterior design with a remarkably original look of radiance. Additional applications of ion plating (IP), titanium carbide (TiC), and other coatings deliver beautiful coloration.
*The stainless steel is processed into components and then recrystallized, yielding unique differences in crystalline grain. This makes the pattern, color tone, and luster differ subtly from part to part.
Deep-layer hardening process (stainless steel)
This technology creates a hard layer by infusing carbon into the surface of the steel. Unlike coatings, the process delivers enhanced strength by hardening the material itself.

DW5040PG
Paying homage to the very first G-SHOCK, the DW5000C, this model features recrystallization and deep-layer hardening processes applied to the screw-lock case back, buckle, and band loop. Black IP is then applied to the case back, and gold-colored IP to the buckle and band loop. In addition, the bezel and band are made with bio-based resins to help reduce environmental impact. The words ‘PROJECT TEAM “Tough”’ adorn the dial. The screw-lock case back is engraved with the anniversary logo, while the band loop features four stars to commemorate the four decades of G-SHOCK. Another star is engraved on the Mode button on the lower left side of the case.
*Due to the screw-lock construction of the case back, the orientation of the logo and lettering on it may not match up perfectly with the dial.

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 DW5000C 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.

GMWB5000PS
The texture of the stainless steel for this model is enhanced not only with the recrystallization and deep-layer hardening processes, but also by an additional TiC coating. The screw-lock case back also has a DLC coating applied to it and is engraved with the 40th anniversary logo. A star is engraved on the Mode button on the lower left side of the case, and the phrase “SINCE 1983” appears on the dial.

Truth to origin and constant innovation: Full metal shock-resistant structure
Buffering components made of fine resin are installed between the stainless-steel bezel and case. With its metal exterior in the original form of the very first G-SHOCK, the watch makes the most of its shock-resistant structure.
