[Live SPhotos] The world’s thinnest Oceanus Manta OCW-S5000

OCEANUS Manta’s latest work “OCW-S5000” series announced at BASELWORLD 2019 has finally been released. Having appeared this time, “OCW-S5000” of design inherit the royal road of Manta, bezel and closeout, decorated with accent color to dialing “OCW-S5000E”, and to commemorate the OCEANUS 15 years “OCW-S5000C” of It is three models.

Therefore, I would like to introduce the appeal of the OCW-S5000 series again, along with an explanation by Takayasu Sato, who is in charge of planning and in charge of the planning of the Casio Computer Development Division.

The model that most closely reflects the OCEANUS philosophy “Elegance, Technology” is the premium line Manta.

The series has been recognized as “the thinnest and most beautiful OCEANUS”, but this “OCW-S5000” series is further promoting its features. The case thickness is so thin, just 9.5 mm in OCEANUS history (※)!

Compared with 11.7 mm of the previous model with almost the same function, Manta “OCW-S4000”, it is thinner by about 2.2 mm. The difference of 2 mm on the watch is unexpectedly large. Moreover, it’s still a comparison in Manta, who has been conscious of the thinness of the case.
