It’s been 30+ years since the original G-SHOCK DW-5000C was released back in 1983. While many things have changed since then, a lot has remained the same—don’t fix what isn’t broken, after all. And that’s exactly the case with the G-SHOCK GW-M5610-1ER. While it has been modernized to meet today’s standards, it preserves the DNA of the original, since only watches modeled after it can use the 5600 designation. The modern 5610 starts off with a shock-resistant case made out of resin, to protect against impact and vibration. Like its predecessor, this is a squared case, measuring 46.7 x 43.2mm.
For its functions, you’ll find the now-standard stopwatch, timer, daily alarms, world time, calendar, and even a radio signal receptor in this GW-M model, all powered by a solar cell. Another unique feature is its full-auto illumination, which activates it when it’s in low-light conditions and deactivates the backlight there’s enough surrounding light. Finally, 200 meters of water resistance seal the deal with this durable timepiece. Pick one up this modern classic at the link below.
