Eric Haze x G-Shock GMW-B5000EH-1 for 40th Anniversary

Eric Haze x G-Shock GMW-B5000EH-1 Box

New York-based graffiti pioneer and designer Eric Haze has enjoyed a long-running partnership with G-Shock, having designed the G-Shock Anniversary logos since the 25th Anniversary and releasing several limited edition watches over the years. His latest collaboration is the G-Shock GMW-B5000EH-1, a 40th Anniversary limited edition release.

The watch has a black ion plated bezel and band and a subdued face style in shades of gray. The stainless steel band is laser-etched with a pattern of Haze’s signature asterisk-like motif. The low-DPI style of the etching gives the pattern a unique look that resembles digital camouflage. The artist’s graffiti tag appears in red on the LED backlight, and the watch has a 40th Anniversary DLC-coated case back. As a deluxe GMW-B5000 model, the GMW-B5000EH-1 is made in Japan. The GMW-B5000 series was originally released in 2018 during the 35th Anniversary and is a full metal version of the original G-Shock DW-5000C from 1983, with enhanced features like Tough Solar power, Multi-Band 6 auto radio time correction, and Bluetooth smartphone link.

In Japan, the GMW-B5000EH-1JR will be released on October 28, 2022, for 96,800 yen (tax included). Other regions are expected to follow.

Update: G-Shock U.S. is releasing the GMWB5000EH-1 (casio.com) for $720, with an estimated release date of October 26.

According to Hodinkee Shop, this one has a sapphire crystal. Which is confusing. The official Casio site also stated mineral glass.
