GMW-B5000TR: CASIO G-SHOCK

The external components of the GMW-B5000TR employ a new titanium alloy in the TranTixxii™ designing titanium brand. True to Casio’s unflinching pursuit of advanced materials for G-SHOCK, the new titanium alloy was developed with Nippon Steel Corporation over a six-year period of R&D. This special alloy delivers roughly twice the hardness of pure titanium, but still boasts the same lightweight, anticorrosive and hypoallergenic properties. This intense hardness makes it possible to produce a mirror finish comparable to stainless steel on titanium, which typically has been difficult to process in this way. The result is the first titanium G-SHOCK with a mirror-finished bezel and band. TranTixxii™ A titanium brand jointly developed by Nippon Steel Corporation and partner companies, TranTixxii™ titanium materials emphasize superior aesthetic properties developed by applying the material development technology Nippon Steel has amassed in its steel-producing business. Nippon Steel is the world’s third largest producer of crude steel and the largest steel manufacturer in Japan. https://products.g-shock.com/asia-mea/en/_detail/GMW-B5000TR-9/ ■Official Links (International - English) http://world.g-shock.com/asia-mea/en/ ■公式ブランドサイト (日本語) https://gshock.casio.com/jp/ --- ABSOLUTE TOUGHNESS A 10-year battery life, 10-bar water resistance and 10-meter dropping shock resistance.
