Casio recently announced the latest additions of two-tone Purple and Blue Metal G-SHOCK line of shock-resistant watches. The new GMW-B5000PB is part of the 5000 line of full metal watches with the square design of the very first G-SHOCK, featuring purple and blue-gray ion plating (IP). For Casio and G-SHOCK fans, you have to check out this new G-SHOCK GMW-B5000PB two-tone purple and blue metal G-SHOCK watch!
The GMW-B5000PB is based on the GMW-B5000D, this is reproduced based on the shape of the very first G-SHOCK, but in a metal case. This watch has a purple and blue-gray IP finish, it’s based on a new approach to CMF design (CMF design integrates colour, material, and finish). This watch is inspired by the beauty of Tokyo at Twilight when light and darkness interplay. For fans of Japan travel, this would be of interest to you!
The bezel and band feature a new purple IP hue achieved by tuning the chroma and luminance, along with a deep and sophisticated blue-gray IP. Combined with muted chroma and hairline finish, the watch evokes the image of twilight Tokyo in an integrated total design. The watch face is adorned with splashes of orange and light blue reminiscent of city lights illuminating as the sun sets. The bezel and band are hairline and mirror-finished, which enhances the texture of the metal while emphasizing the interplay of multi-spectrum light.
The GMW-B5000PB not only receives radio wave time-calibration signals; it is also equipped with Mobile Link functions that pair via Bluetooth® to a smartphone to access Internet time servers and ensure accurate time. Features like alarms and World Time can be easily set from a paired smartphone, and the helpful reminders and phone finder function make for a very useful watch.
