The entire bezel is thoroughly honed, with a hairline finish applied to the sides and a mirror finish to the screws and buttons.
The entire bezel is then given a black IP and the top surface only polished again with a hairline finish.
This removes most of the black IP down to the stainless steel, while leaving the IP in the engravings.
The black base colour treated with different finishes gives the watch a uniquely appealing look.
The stainless steel bezel and band feature black IP in a lighter tone compared to the conventional black IP (of the GMW-B5000GD-1).
The chic, matte black on the honed surface adds sophistication and balances well with the silver of the stainless steel that remains after polishing.
Detailed finishing of band
and case back
The band pieces are honed, with different finishes applied to the details to accentuate the beauty of metal.
The links and buckle receive a hairline finish on the sides, while a mirror finish is applied to the bevelled surfaces.
The screw-back of the watch case is mirror-finished and then receives a DLC coating.
