This new model inherits the octagon form that was also employed for the original DW-5000C. Analog-digital timekeeping comes packed into a no-nonsense simple design without sacrificing G-SHOCK level toughness, and now includes Tough Solar power and Smartphone Link. High-strength resin material, which is reinforced with carbon fibers, makes it possible to create a 45mm black case that is a mere 11.9 mm thin, which is one of the thinnest among G-SHOCK combination models. The black resin strap secures with a buckle clasp and the watch is water-resistant to 200m.
