Core Guard Structure
Four stainless-steel pipes form a metal frame that joins
the bezel securely with the case back. A resin case is
mounted inside the frame to protect the module from
direct shocks. This Core Guard Structure with its metal
frame mirrors the basic G-SHOCK concept of a “hollow
structure” in which the module is floated in the air with
support at just a few points.
Layered composite band
Metal band parts are com-
bined with lightweight but
highly durable fine resin
parts to achieve a solid
feel and reduce weight
simultaneously.
Sallaz polishing
The bezel and bevelled case
sections are processed with
Sallaz polishing, a superlative
metal-polishing technique, to
create beautiful mirror
surfaces.
Technology
Design
Structural developments have led to a significant increase
in the number of external parts. The parts are assembled
with precision to function as part of the shock-resistant
structure, giving birth to a metal exterior
combining toughness with beauty.

External parts
The lugs joining the band with the case, which are subjected
to constant stress when worn on the wrist, are integrated
into the case back to reinforce their durability. Sophisticated
moulding and machining technologies have been deployed
to achieve this integration.
Lug-integrated case back
Metal washers are installed at the points where oversized bolts attach the
band to the case. These inhibit the bolts from loosening due to vibrations.
