This is the DW-8300, released in September, 1995. This is one of the hugest G-Shock's ever made. It's called "Heavy Metal"  in Germany, and you can see why. You can consider it a classic design, because many of those were sold, and there are a lot of collectors wanting or having this watch. I own 4 of these big G-Shocks After owning these Heavy Metals for a few years, the Science Fiction series "Stargate SG1" used this model for the Stargate crew for a few seasons. This is the reason this model is sometimes also called "Stargate".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course I couldn't resist to put the watch on the smallest wrist I could find hanging around in my lab. For those who are curious, it was Dena, who is also featured in the G-People section. Scroll down to see the beautiful details of this monster.
