G-SHOCK is symbolized by casual designs made of resin material, but did you know that G-SHOCK also offers a rich lineup of high-end full-metal series watches that even use metal material for the band?
The unique presence is irresistible!
The “Full Metal” was introduced at the timing of G-SHOCK’s 35th anniversary in 2018, when a number of outstanding new products were released. Based on the first generation G-Shock models, this collection was the first to be made in full metal, and drew attention as a “new G-Shock for adults”. The following is an in-depth look at the features of this full-metal series.
Features of G-SHOCK Full Metal (1)Shock-resistant structure newly developed for Full Metal
The main feature of Full Metal G-SHOCK is that the resin exterior that has been adopted for shock resistance up to now, and which symbolizes G-SHOCK, has been replaced by a hard, heavy full-metal exterior, The hard and heavy full-metal exterior has been replaced with a hard and heavy full-metal exterior. The model was originally inspired by the ” DREAM PROJECT ” concept model of the square G-SHOCK DW-5000 in solid gold, which was exhibited as a single piece for Baselworld, the world’s largest trade show for new watches and jewelry, in 2015. The model was the “DREAM PROJECT”. The model was made of solid gold, which is extremely fragile, and was a complete prototype, not for everyday use. However, it later became the talk of the town within the company because of its cool looks! This led to the development of a full metal model.
The “hollow structure” that is the basic structure of the G-Shock is a cushioning material between the module, which is the heart of the watch, and the case that encloses it, to disperse shock. However, metal is the opposite of resin in that it easily transmits and disperses shock. This is why G-Shock adopted the ” full-metal shockproof construction. The watch has the same hollow structure as conventional G-Shock watches, but for the full metal construction, a red fine resin cushioning material is sandwiched between the metal parts. This part is the key to ensuring shock resistance even for metal that is prone to shock transmission. Incidentally, this technology is quite complex, so it could not be formed without Casio’s G-Shock know-how. The back of the watch is equipped with an airtight screw back. Of course, the watch has passed the ” shock resistance test ” familiar to G-SHOCK.
The band connection is also a unique feature of the full metal series. Normal models have two lugs connecting the case to the band, which are attached to both ends of the case. On the other hand, the Full Metal series has three lugs at the connection to disperse the impact transmitted to the connecting pipe that joins the case and band. The screws used are also made of high-strength metal material.
Features of G-SHOCK 'Full Metal' (2)The metal exterior of G-SHOCK is massive, luxurious, and dignified
G-SHOCK was an essential part of Japanese street fashion in the 1990s, and it is certainly an excellent design. However, its resin exterior gives it a casual feel, making it difficult to fit in with suits and other dress styles. On the other hand, G-SHOCK’s full-metal watches, which have both a casual and a stylish look, are easy to match. Stainless steel is used as the material, giving the watch an elegant appearance with a different atmosphere from resin. The material as well as the finish are carefully selected to maximize the appeal of the material, such as a satin finish that is partially matte, and a polished finish that is glossy.
The design of the G-Shock, however, is based on the G-Shock itself, which dominated the market in the past generation, and it is extremely difficult to express the original complex shape of the G-Shock in full metal, so the full metal appearance is achieved by repeating the process of beating and polishing the cut-out stainless steel base material in a metal mold many times. The design of the full metal collection is also an attractive feature of the G-Shock watches, as it reproduces the details that are typical of G-Shock. Metal watches themselves are not particularly rare, but the fact that G-Shock is now made of metal gives it new value.
G-SHOCK 'Full Metal' features (3)Equipped with cutting-edge technology
If you design a model with a new look, the modules should also be up-to-date! With this in mind, we are also pleased to see that the most advanced technology has been incorporated into the watch. The Fullmetal series is equipped with Bluetooth functionality, which allows the user to download a dedicated application to a smartphone to automatically adjust the time and set the world time cities. The watch is also equipped with “Multi Band 6,” which receives and automatically corrects the time according to the standard radio waves of six stations around the world (two in Japan, one in China, one in the United States, one in the United Kingdom, and one in Germany). The watch is charged by a tough solar-powered battery, and the solar panel has been improved to enhance the visibility of the LCD. Some models are equipped with a high-intensity fully automatic LED backlight for better visibility in the dark, and other cutting-edge technology to tickle men’s fancy.
