Since its launch in 1983, G-SHOCK has continued to evolve in pursuit of strength and has released the AWG-M520 series that has been reissued by adding new features to the previous famous plane. Established in 1989, G-SHOCK's first analog and digital combination model, the AW-500 comprised of the premade concept that there are many small parts such as needles and gears. The round case design and simple band shape without any unevenness, is equipped with radio wave reception function and Tough Solar. A lineup of 3 models of AWG-M520 that faithfully reproduces the original design and the AWG-M520 BB in an all-black finish and the AWG-M520G with pink gold color and the G-SHOCK masterpiece has evolved and revived.
