All our watches come with outstanding water resistant technology and are built to withstand extreme condition. A 10-year battery life, 10-bar water resistance and 10-meter dropping shock resistance. If you are not familiar with the CasiOak series pause and look it up now as before we examine the technical details, we must address the elephant in the room. The new Casio bears more than a passing resemblance to an Audemars g shock watch Piguet Royal Oak. The latter being a high-end piece of horological craftsmanship which, since its launch in 1973, is considered to be one of the finest original waterproof diving watches; or to use AP’s marvellous vintage term “fluid-tight”. A unique and defining design, the most striking element of the watch was, and still is, its octagonal bezel which is based on the outer hatch of an old-style diving helmet.
GA900HC-3A The new GA900HC-3A color model was designed under the theme of exploration of an unknown coastal region. After 1997, however, the trend faded and Casio, left with overstock, had to come up with a different strategy. The bold move (which created a backlash inside the company, Mr. Masuda said) came during a time when there were no smartphones, touch screens or much online communication, and digital devices were not as small as today. Using the profits from that success, Mr. Kashio and his three brothers developed their own calculator, a desk-sized device at the time. Over the years, the company became Casio Computer Company Ltd. , and the products offerings expanded to musical keyboards and, eventually, digital watches — with the introduction of the G-Shock.
And the positive display is static whereas the negative one shines differently depending on the angle and light source. True, this may not be the watch to wear to a candlight dinner, but if you had your heart set on it you can always turn on the auto-light function. DW6900SLG-1 The Bishamonten model is based on the DW-6900, a standard digital model whose defining characteristic is a third indicator. The design uses a clear, translucent dark gray as the base color, on top of which rose gold accents are added. DW5600BBN-1 From G-SHOCK, the watch brand that is constantly setting new standards for timekeeping toughness, comes the DW5600BBN-1 with monotone black coloring and a cloth band.
G-Shock is a line of watches manufactured by Casio, designed to resist mechanical shock and vibration. Designed primarily for sports, military and outdoors-oriented activities; nearly all G-Shocks are digital or a combination of analog or digital and have a stopwatch feature, countdown timer, backlight and water resistance. The Casio G-Lide Ana-Digi GAX100B-1A Black is a nice looking watch, The bright white hands stand out and makes seeing time Ana at a a glance fabulous.
GGB100-8A Start with strong, lightweight carbon fiber, then add rugged style in a handsome black and gray color scheme. GBD800UC-5 These are the latest additions to the new POWER TRAINER sports lineup from G-SHOCK. The good-looking designs and utility colors of these models maximize coordination possibilities with both everyday fashions and training wear. GWFA1000-1A4 The new GWFA1000’s are the first analog models for the FROGMAN Series of MASTER OF G ISO 200m diver-level water resistant watches. GBD800UC-8 These are the latest additions to the new POWER TRAINER sports lineup from G-SHOCK. GSWH The new GSWH1000 multi-sport smartwatch is built with all the toughness of a G-SHOCK, with shock resistance and 200-meter water resistance.
There were lots of high-end watches for us to aspire to – take for example the latest release Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver range starting at a not insubstantial £20,000. Born from a dream of “creating a watch that never breaks,” it was over 30 years ago that a CASIO engineer won the battle against the laws of nature. He designed a watch that would resist centrifugal and impact forces as well as high water pressure. Since then, the name G-SHOCK has become a byword for independence and pushing the limits. Loaded with functions useful for a wide range of activities — from daily workouts to extreme sports.
The latest generation of the famous Frogman watch with its lopsided case has an all-analog display, and Casio is really excited about it. Not to be confused with mechanical watches, analog simply refers to watches with dials and hands rather than numeric displays to provide information. All the movements here are quartz-driven, providing the same reliability and durability found in the other models, while the presentation ups the elegance to some. G-Shock likes to give its most premium models all-analog displays, and prices will reflect that.
