G-Shock - Brand New
G-Shock Full Metal AWM-500 PORTER - AWM-500GC-1A
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.

Care Instructions
Daily Care
• Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft microfiber cloth after wear to remove oils, dust, and fingerprints.
Cleaning
• Use a soft cloth lightly dampened with water and mild soap for occasional cleaning.
• Dry the watch thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
What to Avoid
• Avoid bleach, chlorine, harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and household cleaning products.
• Do not use polishing compounds unless specifically recommended by the watch manufacturer.
Stainless Steel and Titanium
• Light surface marks may develop over time with normal wear.
• Titanium can show cosmetic marks differently than stainless steel because of its lighter weight and surface characteristics.
Water Resistance
• Always follow the water resistance rating listed by the manufacturer for your specific watch.
• Water resistance is not permanent and can decrease over time as seals and gaskets age.
• Make sure the crown is fully pushed in or screwed down before water exposure.
• Do not operate the crown, pushers, or other controls while the watch is underwater unless the manufacturer specifically states that it is safe to do so.
• Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and very hot showers, as heat and rapid temperature changes can affect the watch seals.
• Have the water resistance checked periodically, especially after battery replacement, case opening, or service.
Storage
• Store your watch in a clean, dry place when not in use.
• Keep it separated from other jewelry or watches to help prevent scratches.
