These new models revive the classic AW-500 Series with new looks that embody the
unmatched toughness for which G-SHOCK has been renowned since its inception
back in 1983. Making its initial appearance in 1989 as G-SHOCK's first analog-digital
model, the AW-500 shattered the then widely held belief that the hands, gears, and
other small parts of analog watches made them vulnerable to shock and impact.
These new models provide a choice of new color variations. The AW-500BB models
offer a selection between popular mud black or mud red hues. Features include
stopwatch and timer, along with an EL backlight, seven-year battery life, and more.
