Casio, Black/Brown, Strap

• Yellow Gold / Brown / Black

Description In 1983, Casio launched the shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch. This product shattered the notion that a watch is a fragile piece of jewelry that needs to be handled with care, and was the result of Casio engineering that took on the challenge of creating the world's toughest watch. Using a triple protection design for the parts, module and case, the G-SHOCK offered a radical new type of watch that was unaffected by strong impacts or tremors. Its practicality was immediately recognized, and its unique appearance, which embodied its functionality, became very popular, resulting in explosive sales in the early 1990s. The G-SHOCK soon adopted several new sensors, solar-powered radio-controlled technology (described below) and new materials for even better durability. By always employing the latest technology and continuing to transcend conventional thinking about the watch, the G-SHOCK brand has become a flagship watch product.
