If Tokyo is always at the back of your mind, why not get a watch that reminds you of its skyline? The blue and purple hues in this G-Shock GMW-B5000PB watch were inspired by the beauty of Tokyo at twilight when light and darkness interplay.
The watch face is adorned with splashes of orange and light blue reminiscent of city lights illuminating as the sun sets in the background. Meanwhile, the bezel and band are hairline and mirror-finished, which enhances the texture of the metal while emphasising the interplay of multi-spectrum light.
The GMW-B5000PB is also perfect for technology lovers as it’s equipped with Mobile Link functions that pair via Bluetooth to a smartphone to access Internet time servers and ensure accurate time. Features like alarms and world time can be easily set from a paired smartphone, and the helpful reminders and phone finder function make it a very useful – and stylish – watch to own.
