The G-Shock Protection text is impregnated in orange onto the dark grey resin bezel and two large and polished buttons sit to either side, to adjust the watch and operate the various modes. These are deeply recessed to prevent accidental button presses but due their large size, can easily be operated when wearing gloves.
The main numerals on the dial are large and are placed at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock respectively, with thick baton markers between. The text is clear despite the busy dial and are coated with neo-brite luminescent paint. They almost look cream in daylight but glowing in a reassuringly green hue in darkness. And it is fortunate that they do as there is no backlight, LED or otherwise.
On the inside of the resin bezel sits 10 minute markers to 60 minutes, finished in white. The abbreviated designations for the various cities of the world are highlighted in blue on the outer dial, for the world time feature and second time zone display. Finally, on an inner chamfered edge and displayed crisply in orange, are markings for the stopwatch.
The text on the dark grey dial displays multi-band 6 in orange, below which sits Tough Solar and CASIO in white text. Below the 3 o'clock position Tough Mvt. (i.e. tough movement) in white. Naturally, the text is small throughout, but concise considering that diminutive point size.
There are three subdials: a circular one at three o'clock, which displays the 24-clock format, with a bright orange sword hand for the minutes and a triangular light blue hand for the hour.
At the 6 o'clock position sits another circular dial, displaying the chronograph, with its elongated light blue hand clearly visible.
