Joakim Agren posted some great shots of his newly arrived G-306X-1ADR Street Rider series G-Shock. The black textured resin band is really unique, but the real feature is the multi-color IP metal ring around the bezel. This model looks different from every angle of view.

This is part of the G-Spike series by Casio, the G-Spike series is a fashionable series with a young and hip design. Also there is connections towards the motor world. This particular model is part of a subgroup within G-Spike called Street Rider or Rough Rider. The G-306x-1adr and the white version the 7adr is called Exhaust Wheel. It is very unique and has gone trough a unique treatment. I tried to find out what it was and here is a translation from Japanese about what it is that creates the really cool and shiny polychrome bezel:
"It is a design to image motor sports and popular G-SPIKE. "Exhaust wheel" here reproduces iris coloring that appears to the muffler etc. of the racing car in the metal part of bezel by a polychrome ion plating. Monotone is adopted so that the arrangement of color of the main body and the character board may set off brilliance in the bezel part. The metal parts that shine to a simple design are unique models."
