About this timepiece

A collaboration worth celebrating, the G-SHOCK Full Metal AWM-500 PORTER edition (ref. AWM-500GC-1A) revisits the AW-500G of 1989 in black stainless steel. A diamond-like carbon coating gives the bezel and band their deep black finish along with a high level of scratch resistance, modern technology applied to a design rooted in G-SHOCK's early days. The original shock-resistance graph returns to the dial in gold print, a nostalgic detail that stands out beautifully against the black. To complete the set, PORTER supplies a bespoke carrying case styled after the original watch, with a zipper modeled on its hands, red for the hour and gold for the minute.

Underneath the heritage styling is a thoroughly modern module. Tough Solar charging keeps it running for about 11 months from a full charge in normal use, and Multi Band 6 reception sets the time by radio signals from five countries. The hand shift feature moves the hands clear of the digital display, which handles world time across 31 time zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 100-minute countdown timer and five daily alarms, while a double LED light illuminates both the face and the digital display. Sealed with a screw lock back and water resistant to 200 meters, the shock-resistant case finishes on a solid stainless steel band with a one-touch three-fold clasp.

Timepiece History

G-SHOCK began with a developer's belief that a watch could be built not to break when dropped, and Project Team Tough was formed in 1981 to make it, working from Kikuo Ibe's concept. Over about two years the team built more than 200 prototypes around the "Triple 10" concept: 10-bar water resistance, surviving a 10-meter drop, and a 10-year battery. The DW-5000C that came out of that work debuted in 1983 with a hollow case that supports the core module at certain points, and G-SHOCK has kept building on that toughness idea ever since.

The AW-500 arrived in 1989, six years after the first G-SHOCK, as the first analog-digital combination G-SHOCK, and it upended the idea that a G-SHOCK had to be digital. The AWM-500 brings it back in full metal, with fine-resin shock-absorbing parts between the bezel and case and a solid stainless steel band. Built on the analog-digital AWM-500, the collaboration with PORTER / Yoshida & Co. gives the stainless steel bezel and band a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, prints the impact-resistance graph in gold on the dial, and comes with a bespoke nylon PORTER carry case. Dating to 1962, PORTER is the main label of Yoshida & Co. (founded in 1935) and makes its bags in Japan; the case it created for the AWM-500GC-1A carries the same shock-resistance graph, stamped in gold on the lid.
