G-SHOCK's new military camo watch continues the company's history of producing watches that are designed with an emphasis on functionality. The design was derived from the company applying a "Military Camo" aesthetic to its 'GM-5600B-3' watch. The watch features a squared face, alike to all of the other of the brands 5600 Series.
Other noteworthy aspects of the military camo watch include a resin case and a stainless steel bezel cover combined to give the watch its rugged functionality. Additional features include a black ion-plated bezel with a glass face and pixelated camo located around the frame. Khaki green on the strap furthers the military aesthetic featured throughout the timepiece.
