Casio G-Shock Pro Limited Edition watch, steel, GMW-BZ5000RC-1ER

Rainbow Ion-Plated Steel Casio G-Shock Pro Limited Edition Watch with Tough Solar, Bluetooth and Multiband 6

The rainbow ion plating (Rainbow IP) on the middle case changes shade with the light: orange, purple and blue show at the edges, and the same band of colors runs around the edge of the display. Gold-coloured ion-plated screws add to the look. In this Casio G-Shock Pro Limited Edition watch, the case and bracelet are stainless steel, and the surface is silver-gray.

The digital display is MIP LCD, and you can change its appearance with a phone app, for example to the traditional 7-segment Classic view. Tough Solar charges the watch with light, and Bluetooth and Multiband 6 keep the time accurate. Inside the steel case there is a shock absorber made of resin. The first G-SHOCK model, the DW-5000C, was released in 1983, and shock resistance is still the starting point of the brand.
