Casio has released the latest addition to the G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches.
The GMW-B5000EH is a collaboration model created with the New York-based graffiti artist Eric Haze to mark the upcoming G-SHOCK 40th anniversary in April 2023.
It celebrates the first G-SHOCK watch in 1983 and how ever since the brand has established itself as unrivaled in durability and uniqueness of design.
Starting in 1999, New York-born artist and designer Eric Haze has collaborated frequently with G-SHOCK and is doing so again to celebrate the brand’s four decades in business.
The GMW-B5000EH is a shock-resistant timepiece designed in collaboration with Haze to commemorate the 40th anniversary of G-SHOCK.
The first collaboration model with a full-metal design, this watch is based on the GMW-B5000D, which inherits the design of the very first G-SHOCK, and has a band featuring signature Haze artwork.
Black IP is applied to the stainless steel band, which is then overlaid with laser-engraved patterns of dots to reproduce the artist’s work in a chic monotone color scheme.
The logo designed by Haze to commemorate the G-SHOCK 40th anniversary is engraved on the case back, and the Haze brand logo appears on the watch display when the light is activated.
These and other special design features evoke a high-quality yet playful feel that makes this collaboration the perfect model to kick off the G-SHOCK 40th anniversary celebrations.
