This watch is something special and rare. Considered to be one of the Best G-Shocks ever made by collectors because of its internal metal housing and Screw Back Case. These go for upwards of $350 elsewhere. This was only worn a couple of times and will come in a nice Hamilton travel case with original paperwork but not the original box. The photos don't do it justice.
Pursuing further toughness while inheriting the DNA of the first G-SHOCK model (DW5000) the GW5000U-1 is constructed with a solid metal case and a screw back. This timepiece is also equipped with advanced technology, Multi-Band 6 that receives standard radio waves from 6 stations around the world. The metal case and screw back are made of DLC (diamond-like) to enhance wear resistance, and the screw back is also mirror-processed to create a luxurious finish. In addition, the resin band uses soft urethane that is comfortable to wear. Evolved from the G-SHOCK original design that was born in 1983, the GW5000U-1 is a discerning model that boasts technology and a high-quality finish.
