Yet, it’s not so much the color as the methodology behind them that makes them special. As has been seen recently in the brand’s Fine Metallic Series, these dials are crafted using vapor deposition technology.
This process turns material into a vapor (or gaseous form) before it condenses on the surface of the dial. It’s from where the dials get their color and why they have a metallic sheen.

Interestingly, those dials are also functional beyond just their beauty. Despite the vapor deposition on the surface, these watches still boast solar cells; yes, that means these are solar powered watches.
Like all G-Shocks, these watches have a quartz movement. However, they don’t require batteries, just light to recharge and function. That means you need not worry about changing out the power source every few years.
