FEATURES

1
Shock-resistant structure with an original, new exterior
The center case protecting the module is covered by an exterior part that employs an integrated bezel and band construction. The large dimensional indexes overlap the glass, also functioning as bumpers to absorb shocks. This uniquely powerful exterior design stays true to the characteristic shock-resistance of G-SHOCK, but with a whole new look.

2
Shock-resistant module featuring Shock Release Hand
Casio has developed a new magnetic holding structure, a new design where the hands, which are vulnerable to impact, are not directly fixed to the shaft but are attached using magnetic force. This magnetic attachment allows the Shock Release Hand (minute hand) to absorb and dissipate impacts effectively. This new technology also makes it possible to create larger hands and offers more flexibility in styling.

Note: Because the structure uses magnetic attachment, the minute hand may shake due to impact or vibration. Additionally, immediately after an impact or vibration, the minute hand may temporarily shift out of position, but it will return to the correct position within a few minutes.

High-impact design expressing ultimate toughness
Toughness-oriented, oversized design gives the timepiece an overwhelming sense of presence. Presenting an organic form with an integrated bezel and band construction, the watch incorporates bumper-type indexes and side buttons expressing powerful strength with a convex, protruding shape featuring sharply defined edges. In addition, the use of spherical glass gives the distinctive form an even more striking look.

* At certain viewing angles, the interior of the dial may be difficult to see due to special spherical surface processing applied to the glass.

Detailing that pursues the essence of toughness
Casio’s dedication to toughness extends to the finest details. The dial design incorporates the functional beauty of an aircraft cockpit. Graphic elements on the glass evoke the nose cone of a fighter jet. Every feature and part has been built to enhance the sense of toughness throughout the design.
