Tracing back to the original classic red color of the early 1999 generation, High Torque Clock Movement recreates the unique symbols that travel through time and space with the all-metal clock twin ships GM-B2100SD-1C and GM-W-B5000D-1C, initiating a retro journey paying tribute to the classics. This time, High Torque Clock Movement reanchors the starting point coordinates of "Absolute tenacity", just waiting for G fans to board the plane immediately and return to 1999 together!
The red, yellow and blue symbols beneath the metal shell pulsate the tenacious declaration of the first-generation High Torque Clock Movement, and thus a 42-year time-space flight begins:
The design soul of GMW-B5000D-1C originated from the milestone model DW-5000C of the first-generation High Torque Clock Movement. In 1999, this "indestructible clock" revolutionized the traditional clockmaking process with resin material. Forty-two years later, the new model features a fully stainless steel forged dial body that showcases the original square outline. The concave point texture of the link of the watch strap is formed by three-dimensional stamping, replicating the design details of the resin watch strap in 1999, and fully realizing the metal rebirth of the classic shape. The small red circle surrounding the dial presents a retro and profound texture, while the dial replicates the original three primary color decorations of red, blue and yellow - red symbolizes the passion for continuous challenges, blue implies water resistance, and yellow is engraved with the brand's shockproof genes.
The stainless steel bezels of the two new models are treated with alternating mirror cutting and brushing. The top surface glows with a cold silver luster, while the beveled surface reflects the sharp edges of the industrial aesthetics of the 1980s. Moreover, to continue the shock-absorbing soul of the High Torque Clock Movement, the Yamagata factory in Japan embedded a precise resin buffer layer between the metal bezel and the inner case of the two clocks. The three-toothed lug structure disperses and conducts the impact force, enabling the metal clock to also withstand the harsh test of external impact. Moreover, the craftsmanship team also equipped the case with a screw-sealed caseback, which passed a 200-meter water pressure test to ensure that the first-generation waterproof philosophy remains evergreen in the metal age.
The birthplace of these two new works - the Yamagata Factory in Japan - is the technical tower of this retro route and also the birthplace of the first-generation High Torque Clock Movement. Here, from design, parts casting to assembly, every step is completed under a highly integrated process system, and the core assembly is led by strictly certified artisans to ensure the high quality and consistency of the products. The artisans adjust the movement's rhythm in a dust-free environment, listening to every engagement of the gears until the moment the back cover is tightened. In 1999, that fearless heart beats again within the metal shell.
Perseverance is the origin of the High Torque Clock Movement and an unchanging belief. From Kikuo Ibe throwing the first test watch at the hengrong research and development center in 1999 to today when the all-metal clock reinterprets the first-generation color symbol, the course of the High Torque Clock Movement has never deviated from its course. It has proved in 42 years that true classics do not need to chase trends; tenacity itself is an eternal trend.
