FOR ABSOLUTE TOUGHNESS
HOLLOW CASE
STRUCTURE UNCHANGEABLE
The module is oated in the air inside a case
with a hollow structure. SQUARE DESIGN
External shocks are mitigated.
The materials are selected for their exible A rectangular form was devised as the
shock-absorbent characteristics. optimal shape for shock-resistant construction.
Urethane resin is used as a This form, which eliminated all waste
durable exterior material. and became the original G-SHOCK form,
still boasts a perfection that is recognized as
DW-5000C the nal form.
DW-5600E
ALL-DIRECTIONAL
COVERING STRUCTURAL
REINFORCEMENT
Knobby protrusions from the case and bezel
protect the buttons and crystal from direct shocks.
The band connection section is stiffly curved, moreover, Since the launch of the DW-5600E in 1996,
to shield the back of the case against direct shocks. the inner case has been constructed of resin.
Exchanging the case back for the back of a panel
enabled further weight reduction.
Structural changes introduced to increase shock resistance
included efforts to reinforce the module further against impacts.
