Description
The Casio G-Shock DW-5000SS-1 (cataloged within G-Shock’s artistic Street Spirit lineup) is a bold, collector-grade digital timepiece engineered with original graffiti artwork, heavy-duty stainless steel case core construction, and legendary shock resistance. Designed for streetwear enthusiasts and urban collectors, this model transforms the iconic original 1983 square silhouette into a wearable canvas. Built around a durable stainless steel inner case housed within a resin outer structure measuring 48.9 × 42.8 mm in diameter and 13.5 mm in thickness, the watch offers a solid, premium wrist presence at 78 grams. It is secured by a resin band featuring dynamic, multi-colored graffiti splashes fastened with a classic pin buckle.
The defining visual centerpiece of this DW-5000SS-1 reference is its striking street-savvy graffiti artwork splashed boldly across the bezel and strap, paired with a clean digital LCD face framed by signature brick-pattern border accents. The display is supported by an Electro-Luminescent (EL) backlight with afterglow for exceptional nighttime legibility, protected by a tough mineral glass crystal.
Engineered for extreme durability and aquatic utility, the timepiece features a certified 20-bar (200-meter) water resistance rating, making it fully suitable for swimming, water sports, and rigorous outdoor wear. Operating beneath the face is a reliable quartz movement powered by a CR2016 cell delivering approximately 2 years of battery life, equipped with multi-function capabilities including a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, multi-function alarms with flash alert, and a fully automatic calendar. Blending signature G-Shock toughness, original graffiti art aesthetics, and heritage square architecture, the Casio G-Shock DW-5000SS-1 stands out as an exceptional, highly collectible statement piece.
