DOVER, N.J., April 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Casio America, Inc. reinforces their G-SHOCK Master of G line this April with three new timepieces in a striking Rescue Red color theme.

The three watches in the collection cover the Master of G spectrum of air, land, and sea and are designed to withstand extreme conditions. They include the GPW1000RD-4A Gravitymaster, the GWG1000RD-4A Mudmaster, and the GWN1000RD-4A Gulfmaster. Each of these advanced, durable watches demonstrate the absolute toughness that G-Shock is known for, paired with specialized functions and a modern style and feel.

About G-SHOCK
CASIO's shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch is synonymous with toughness, born from the developer Mr. Ibe's dream of 'creating a watch that never breaks'. Over 200 handmade samples were created and tested to destruction until finally in 1983 the first, now iconic G-SHOCK hit the streets of Japan and began to establish itself as 'the toughest watch of all time'. Each watch encompasses the 7 elements; electric shock resistance, gravity resistance, low temperature resistance, vibration resistance, water resistance, shock resistance and toughness. The watch is packed with Casio innovations and technologies to prevent it from suffering direct shock; this includes internal components protected with urethane and suspended timekeeping modules inside the watch structure. Since its launch, G-SHOCK has continued to evolve, continuing to support on Mr. Ibe's mantra "never, never give up". For more information, visit www.GSHOCK.com
