The octagonal shape expresses strength.
The bezel adopts the octagonal design principle that G-SHOCK has had since its very first watches, through painstaking hammering, cutting, and polishing processes. The bezel is precision crafted, from the intricately shaped dial to the shape of the back, which is key to the precise fit of the inner case. The top surface has a round hairline finish, and a mirror finish on the sides, giving the bezel a beautiful sheen.
