Casio G Shock X “one Piece” Dw
Since then, G-Shock watches have become very popular with Special Forces groups in both American and other NATO nation units, due to being “battle tested”. The strap of the watch is also designed to protect the module during a fall. The G-Shock was conceptualised in 1981 by Casio engineer Kikuo Ibe when he accidentally dropped and broke a pocket watch given to him by his father. The G-Shock was g shock protection conceived as a watch which would have “triple 10” resistance, meaning it would have a battery life of 10 years, have a water resistance of 10 bar and could survive a fall of 10 metres. Keep up to date with the latest news, including monthly releases, limited edition drops and more from G-Shock New Zealand. For starters, there will only be 10 pieces of G-Shock x One Piece available for Malaysia.
The indicator of the inset dial in the 9 o’clock position features Luffy’s straw hat as a design motif, while the word, “WANTED” is found in the 3 o’clock position. Also, when the hour and minute hands point to the 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock positions respectively, they combine visually with the two diagonal lines on the dial to form a golden “X”. This represents the X-shaped scar on Luffy’s chest, and also expresses the ONE PIECE love of adventure and treasure hunting in the smallest of details. Based on the GA-110, popular worldwide, the new GA-110JOP also sports a big watch case.
The GA110JOP-1A4 model timepiece, which is based on the digital-analog GA-110 series of watches, depicts One Piece protagonist Luffy. The watch will go on sale at select G-Shock retailers on July 22, and orders are limited to one per household. At 3 o’clock, there’s a “Wanted” motif and at 9 o’clock is a motif of Luffy’s signature straw hat.
Can the Casio G-Shock GSW-H1000 cause an upset in the smartwatch market? For me, living in Norway where most of my mates are very outdoorsy (you try telling them you don’t like skiing), I’m already seeing a scary decline in mechanical watches. Everyday at the office for many translates to a naked wrist or an Apple Watch, then a Garmin, Polar or Samsung “wearable” for that afternoon run or bike ride. In other words, a growing number of people are already open to the functionality of a smartwatch. For those who still resist, the physical inertia of working from home means that we also need to get active or at least try to avoid the onset of complete muscular atrophy.
The Dragon Ball Z logo is engraved on the stainless steel case back, and the watch comes in exclusive co-branded packaging. The G-Shock shock resistant watch is a line of watches manufactured by the Japanese electronics company Casio, designed to resist mechanical stress, shock and vibration. The watches in the G-Shock line are designed primarily for sports, military and outdoors-oriented activities; nearly all G-Shocks are chronographs, with either a digital display or a combination of analogue and digital. Other features such as countdown timer, world clock, alarms, electroluminescent backlight and water resistance are included in most models. Newer high-end models in the line also feature GPS, compass or radio-controlled adjustment known as Multi-Band. Similar to the Goku piece, the Luffy watch pays homage to the character with a black base and illustrations throughout the dial and wristband.
The Straw Hat Grand Fleet was then formed, and a party ensued as their fleet departed from Dressrosa. The Tonta Corps returned to Dressrosa to help with the rebuilding operations. The Straw Hat Grand Fleet is a fleet formed by seven pirate crews who vowed to serve under Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates. As part of the release, G-SHOCK has unveiled an exclusive landing page and video taking consumers through the features, which can be viewed HERE. Gold accents can be found on the dial face where a four-star motif associated with Goku and the seven dragon balls, along with the symbol “Z” can be found on the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock position, respectively.
With that in mind, the team set out to develop a watch using such a concept and in 1983, the first G-Shock, the DW-5000C, was launched. The overriding theme of friends setting out on an adventure leads to scenes of battles, humor, and moving episodes that have made this a long-running mainstay of manga aimed at young boys.
