G-SHOCK GMC-2500-1A - Metal-Clad Analog Octagon
G-SHOCK GMC-2500-1A - Metal-Clad Analog Octagon
Put a polished steel bezel on a resin octagon and remove the digital display, and you arrive at the GMC-2500, the dressier side of the 2500 generation.
The 2500 Series is G-SHOCK's new analog octagon, an idea built on the toughness of the 1983 DW-5000C. The GMC-2500 is its metal-clad version: a stainless steel bezel sits over a resin and bio-based resin case, and the band is resin. That makes it a different watch from G-SHOCK's Full Metal line, where the case and bracelet are steel too, and keeps it at 68 grams.
This reference pairs the silver steel bezel with a black brass dial and a black textured resin band. The dial carries a small seconds subdial and a date wheel in a matching three-cell window, with raised bar indexes and parallel hands. The minute hand is magnetically mounted to absorb shock. Case size 46.7 by 43.8 mm, 12.9 mm deep. Module 5757 runs two years on a CR1025, with a seconds-hand sleep function, Neobrite markers and 200 m water resistance.
The black dial keeps the polished metal in check, so it wears as an everyday watch rather than a piece of jewelry.
Perfect for: steel bezel analog G-SHOCK watches, black dial metal-clad watches, smart casual tool watches.
