Casio Unveils Latest Timepieces At Baselworld 2018

"We're excited to return to Baselworld this year where we'll be displaying the latest timepieces across our top brands," said David Johnson, Vice President of Casio's Timepiece Division. "We're continuing to innovate with technology and performance, specifically in regards to Bluetooth connectivity, and these watches are just the latest representation of Casio's efforts."

New product highlights include:

G-SHOCK MRGG2000HA-1A
The latest collaboration with third generation master craftsman Biho Asano, this special edition men's MR-G model was inspired by the unique texture found on the hilt guard of traditional Japanese swords. To achieve this one-of-a-kind look, Asano individually hammered each bezel, resulting in an artistic, titanium sword guard finish on every watch. Additionally, this textured hammer tone is applied to the inner band parts and the colors featured on the bezel and band boast shades of copper and deep violet found on the handle of Japanese swords. The MRGG2000HA-1A timepiece also includes premium features such as three-way time sync, made possible via Bluetooth Connectivity and the G-SHOCK app, as well as G-SHOCK's GPS Hybrid Wave Ceptor technology, which accurately measures time and location from anywhere on earth. The MRG2000HA-1A also features a sapphire crystal, titanium case and band with a special deep-layer hardening treatment – rendering it five times harder than regular titanium, and tough solar technology for self-charging capabilities.

G-SHOCK MTGB1000-1A
Part of G-SHOCK's luxury MT-G men's collection, which is known for its metal and resin-hybrid construction, the MTGB1000-1A features a polished look, complete with a redesigned core guard box frame, which yields a 1.11mm slimmer and 1.58mm smaller case width. In addition, a new band structure composed of urethane and fine resin is affixed to one other by screws, then securely affixed to the case with metal parts. The model also comes with premium features such as two-way time sync made possible via Bluetooth Connectivity and a dedicated G-SHOCK app, as well as G-SHOCK's Multi-Band 6 Atomic Timekeeping Technology, which provides accurate timekeeping virtually anywhere via radio signals from up to six different transmitters worldwide. The MTGB1000-1A also features a sapphire crystal to protect against scratching and tough solar technology.

G-SHOCK GMWB5000
The Full Metal 5000 is a brand new, specially crafted all-metal timepiece. Inspired by the first G-SHOCK model, DW5000C, this upgraded original boasts a modern, lustrous, colorway while maintaining a vintage aesthetic. The watch also incorporates one of the first and most iconic G-SHOCK case designs, featuring a vintage, square shape case & bezel with a brick pattern on the face. The GMWB5000D-1 incorporates a super illuminator LED light and solar battery – rendering it capable of self-charging, as well as a special STN LCD. In addition, the timepiece incorporates an upgraded, stylish, full stainless steel housing and DLC screw-back case.  Two-way time sync is made possible via Bluetooth Connectivity and the G-SHOCK app, as well as G-SHOCK's Multi-Band 6 Atomic Timekeeping technology, which provides accurate timekeeping virtually anywhere via radio signals from up to six different transmitters worldwide.

G-SHOCK GRB-100
This series, geared specifically towards aviation professionals, is the latest GRAVITYMASTER to boast connected Bluetooth capabilities via the G-SHOCK app, featuring a flight log with a 5-schedule display and countdown alarm as well as a two-tone layered band. The watch also comes equipped with standard G-SHOCK technology of 200M water resistance and shock resistance, a full auto LED light, 1/1000^th second stopwatch and multi-function alarm, 1/10^th second countdown timer, full auto calendar, world time (with 39 time zones / 39 cities + UTC) and 12/24 hour formats.

EDIFICE ECB800DB-1A
The ECB800DB-1A, part of Casio's EDIFICE line of men's timepieces, includes dynamic features in its stylish design. Featuring Casio's Connected technology, the ECB800DB-1A is connected via the dedicated Edifice Connected app and Smartphone Link capability, which means that this timepiece will automatically pair with the wearer's smartphone by pressing a dedicated Bluetooth® connection button. An Accurate Time System automatically connects to the internet via the wearer's smartphone four times a day to acquire timekeeping information and keeps the watches time, time zone and DST settings accurate. 

In addition, Tough Solar functionality enables the timepiece's batteries to charge via a shadow dispersing solar panel on the watch. Other features on the dynamic ECB800DB-1A include a speed indicator, target time indicator, Phone Finder, Super Illuminator, one-push reset, 300-city world time, and water resistance up to 100 meters, and more.

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
