What to know
The GMC-2500D-1A2 pairs the new 2500-series architecture with a blue-gray brass dial and full stainless-steel bracelet. Its subtle honing finish changes character under light, while silver markers and broad white-filled hands preserve the immediate readability Casio wanted from this all-analog reinterpretation of the DW-5000C.
Dimensions match the black-dial metal model at 46.7 × 43.8 × 12.9 mm, with a substantial 138-gram weight. The three-cell window changes between calendar, stopwatch and setting information, while small seconds sit opposite. Shock resistance, a magnetically attached minute hand, mineral glass, amber LED and 200-metre water resistance make the refined colourway a functional G-SHOCK rather than a purely cosmetic variant.
