Burton is one of the most recognized global brands in snowboarding – best known for growing snowboarding from a backyard hobby to a world-class sport. This collaboration, timed with Casio G-SHOCK's 35^th anniversary and the upcoming Burton U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships, combines Burton's legendary product quality and commitment to the outdoors with G-SHOCK's versatility and unmatched toughness.

"G-SHOCK has been a great partner of Burton for years and we were honored to create a watch to celebrate their 35th anniversary," said Greg Dacyshyn, Creative Director at Large for Burton. "Working with them is always a fun and dynamic process because they give us a lot of artistic freedom. This time around we went for a classic utilitarian vibe, featuring duck camo prints and alert orange accents. The end result is a very cool watch that strikes that balance for both outdoor and urban adventures."

Part of G-SHOCK's popular Master of G line, the MUDMASTER GG1000BTN-1A features G-SHOCK's twin sensor technology of digital compass and thermometer, as well as a special mud and debris-resistant structure, making it a perfect companion for the tough, snowy conditions on the slopes.

In celebration of the collaboration, a video was created highlighting some of Burton's favorite moments on the road and underscoring the brand's ethos of no bad trips. View video here.

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." www.gshock.com
