G-SHOCK GMC-2500-1A8 - Metal-Clad Analog Octagon
G-SHOCK GMC-2500-1A8 - Metal-Clad Analog Octagon
A silver dial inside a steel bezel is about as classic as watch design gets. The GMC-2500-1A8 adds a resin case and band and makes the whole thing shockproof.
It is part of G-SHOCK's 2500 Series, which sets the octagonal case around an analog-only dial and traces its toughness back to the DW-5000C of 1983. The GMC-2500 is the metal-clad model: a stainless steel bezel over a case of resin and bio-based resin. It is not a Full Metal watch, and that is why it weighs only 68 grams.
Here the brass dial is silver, set against the silver steel bezel and a black textured resin band. The dial's small seconds subdial and three-cell date window are toned to match, so the face reads as one surface of metal, and the magnetically held minute hand is designed to ride out impacts. 43.8 mm wide, 12.9 mm deep. Module 5757 gives two years on a CR1025, a 30-minute stopwatch, an auto-calendar to 2099 and 200 m water resistance.
The most understated of the metal-clad references, and the one that sits best under a shirt cuff.
Perfect for: silver dial G-SHOCK watches, analog watches with a steel bezel, understated office-to-weekend watches.
