Casio’s GMW-B5000 series has made a significant impact in the watch industry, characterized by its sturdy all-metal design, robust build, and a retro square shape reminiscent of the original G-SHOCK from 1983. These timepieces are celebrated for their wide range of functionalities, incorporating nearly all the essential G-SHOCK features, including shock resistance, solar charging, Bluetooth connectivity, and the ability to adjust world time using Multi-Band 6.
Custom Woodland Camo Editions
Based in Great Britain, B5K Customs has taken this classic timepiece to the next level with their unique Woodland Camo editions. These models come with Cerakote coatings, a ceramic-based finish suitable for metals, plastics, polymers, and wood, available in colors like Olive Drab Green, Armour Black, and Flat Dark Earth. This refresh gives the GMW-B5000 a fresh tactical aesthetic. Each watch sports a distinct multi-tone bracelet that harmonizes beautifully with the color scheme of the case.
Keeping Core Features Intact
The custom versions keep all the essential functionalities of the original GMW-B5000 intact, while the Cerakote finish elevates the watch to a striking statement piece for both outdoor lovers and collectors. The darker “v2.0” model from B5K adds a black bezel and matching olive drab buttons, creating a stealthy look that stands out.
Evolution of Timeless Design
B5K Customs demonstrates how enduring designs can adapt while remaining faithful to their foundational identity. Unlike many custom designs that deviate from the original concept, the Woodland Camo v1.0 and v2.0 editions find a perfect balance between modern innovation and traditional style. According to G-Central, these custom Casio G-SHOCK models are anticipated to be restocked in December. You can reach out to B5K Customs through their Instagram page for more information.
