The G-Shock AW500BB-4E, introduced in 1989 as G-SHOCK's inaugural analog-digital model, challenged the belief that analog watches were susceptible to shock and impact. These new models offer the original AW-500 look or new color variations. Featuring shock resistance, electro-luminescent backlight, dual time, daily alarm, full auto calendar (up to 2099), and water resistance up to 200 meters, these watches embody G-SHOCK's durability and functionality. With a mineral glass, they maintain the rugged spirit while offering style choices.
