Following the revolutionary full-metal conversion of the square 5000 series, the AWM-500 lineup translates G-Shock's groundbreaking 1989 analog-digital pioneer—the legendary AW-500—into solid stainless steel armor. Across international watch collector circles and G-Shock forums, it has earned defining community nicknames—the \"Full Metal AW-500\", \"Retro Ana-Digi Steel\", \"Steel 500\", \"Metal Heritage Ana-Digi\", or simply \"AWM-500D\". It earns these names for its faithful recreation of the original organic round case shape, sophisticated mixed mirror-and-hairline finishes, and atomic solar technology. It unites a shock-resistant stainless steel case measuring 44.5mm in width (51.8mm lug-to-lug) with a high-contrast analog-digital black dial, mineral crystal glass, an in-house Japanese multi-function solar-atomic engine, and an integrated solid stainless steel bracelet. Weighing a substantial 175.0 grams, it is meticulously calibrated for watch enthusiasts, collectors, and modern professionals seeking an indestructible luxury tool watch steeped in 1980s G-Shock history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"8\" id=\"p-rc_994c7a08f1d40f8e-1300\"\u003eThe defining visual centerpiece of this AWM-500D-1A reference is its Faithful Retro Analog-Digital Architecture and Full Metal Polish.
