Casio recently revealed a titanium version of one of the G-SHOCK 5000 Series watches. Titanium components were worked into the exterior of the 'GMW-B5000TB' watch, where titanium was added into the case, band, and buttons of the watch. The titanium components reduce the weight by a total of 57 grams, which brings the total weight down to 110 grams.
The other design aspect are very similar to the conventional stainless steel version of the G-SHOCK 5000 Series watch, which has a black case with contrasting gold components. However other upgraded features include Bluetooth connectivity and Tough Solar charging, as well as an STN-LCD screen which ensures the watch is easy to read regardless of its environment.
