New shock-resistant structure for more exterior design possibilities
The watch features a shock-resistant construction combining the bezel, case, and band connectors. Unlike conventional structures, in which the case is covered by the bezel and the band is connected directly, this approach employs each of these parts as structural components while incorporating their shapes and colours into the look of the design, as well. Glass fibre-reinforced resin is used for the case. Two types of band connectors are available: a solid, opaque type with texturing for the GD-B500, and a translucent type for the GD-B500S.
