Casio G-Shock GCW-B5000UN-6ER The Origin men's watch

The Casio GCW-B5000UN-6, created to celebrate the 40th anniversary of G-SHOCK, is more than just a watch - it is an expression of ultimate strength and durability. It epitomises the evolution of the G-SHOCK collection since its debut with the DW-5000, setting new standards in functionality, performance and material innovation, without compromising on classic aesthetics. This limited edition model epitomises the pursuit of perfection and a relentless commitment to progress.

A tribute to the power of carbon

The use of three different carbon materials for the bezel, bracelet and monocoque case is a milestone in the history of G-SHOCK. The forged carbon of the bezel and bracelet can be moulded into complex shapes and offers not only an impressive appearance but also outstanding mechanical properties. The folding-arm clasp made of multi-layer carbon is characterised by its high longitudinal bending strength. The monocoque case made of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic offers unsurpassed robustness. These materials, each of which is manufactured using a special technique, ensure lightness and high rigidity to create a robust, lightweight and comfortable timepiece. The GCW-B5000UN-6 is a tribute to the beauty of the universe. The colours inspired by the unique texture of forged carbon are reminiscent of the nebulous splendour of the Milky Way. With a mixture of black and grey for the GCW-B5000UN-1 model and a combination of black carbon fibre with blue and pink coloured resin and opal flecks for the GCW-B5000UN-6 model, this watch offers a mysterious and intriguing appearance.

Technology without limits

The GCW-B5000UN-6 is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The Bluetooth® function enables a seamless connection with the smartphone via the associated CASIO WATCHES app. The Multiband 6 radio control ensures automatic and precise timekeeping and the Tough solar charging system provides a long-lasting and environmentally friendly power supply. The extremely bright, fully automatic LED backlight, the world time and weekday display in six languages and the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal round off the impressive equipment package. The GCW-B5000UN-6 is not only known for its beauty, but also for its robustness.

This not only enables automatic time setting, but also access to around 300 world time cities and customised locations. Practical extras for everyday use include the reminder function and the phone finder. Advanced display and lighting technologies. The dial of the GCW-B5000UN-6 is protected by a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, which ensures optimum readability and scratch resistance. The LED backlight (Super Illuminator) with fully automatic function and selectable illumination duration (2 or 4 seconds) ensures that the time remains easy to read even in poor lighting conditions. This advanced illumination technology combined with the white LED light colour gives the timepiece an aura of high-tech elegance.

Intelligent power saving functions

The energy efficiency of the GCW-B5000UN-6 is remarkable. The energy-saving function switches off the display to save power in the dark. There is also a low battery warning. The approximate battery life is 10 months in normal use without exposure to light after charging and up to 22 months in complete darkness with the power-saving function activated after full charging.
