New Casio GMW-BZ5000RC-1DR leak reveals full metal build and April release for MIP LCD watch
A new leak shared by tipster @morgan_gshock gives us our clearest look yet at Casio’s upcoming GMW-BZ5000RC-1DR - this adds more detail to earlier images of the rumored rainbow-accented full-metal square.
The new spec sheet render shows the watch in a full stainless steel construction with a matching metal bracelet. Unlike previous expectations of a fully multicolored case, the design looks to be more restrained. The base finish appears silver with subtle rainbow ion-plated accents visible along the edges of the case and around the dial frame. Blue and purple tones are very noticeable along the lower right case flank, while warmer hues are present closer to the top. The inner frame around the screen carries a faint multicolor gradient.
The spec sheet also lists Tough Solar charging, Multi Band 6 radio control, and Bluetooth connectivity. It also confirms 20 bar water resistance, mineral glass, and a white LED backlight. These are standard features for higher-end full-metal G-Shock squares, so this means there will be no major functional changes over existing models.
One new detail is the module number "3575," which could mean a minor revision or variant of the current platform, though it’s not yet clear what changes, if any, this brings in daily use. Also, the presence of an "APR" marking hints at a possible April release window. Pricing is not mentioned in this specific leak, but earlier reports have pointed toward a figure around €800, with limited availability expected rather than a widely stocked release.
