Casio Computer Co., Ltd. has released the latest G-SHOCK shock-resistant watches — four GA- B001 models featuring an all-new integrated bezel and band construction.
With the new GA-B001 and GA-B001G, Casio brings ingenuity to the exterior structure to achieve an integrated bezel and band construction in a shock-resistant watch. These are the first G-SHOCK watches to feature this innovative structure, which comprises two separate components that connect at the 9 and 3 o’clock positions. The molded construction follows the lines of the wrist, minimizing the space between the wrist and watch for an enhanced fit.
The design of these new watches evokes a gateway to virtual reality worlds. Featuring a geometric dial design and round index marks, these timepieces are a study in near-future design.
When it comes to color, the GA-B001 models feature the black G-SHOCK brand color and a new shade of red, and the GA-B001G models employ gradated color print on translucent materials for the bezel and band.
These watches are all equipped with Mobile Link features for pairing with a smartphone via Bluetooth®. When used with the dedicated CASIO WATCHES app, the watch automatically adjusts to the correct time. In addition, the App information function sends notifications on the watch when the app receives updates on new products and other information.
The new GA-B001 will be available in Malaysia on the Casio Malaysia E-Commerce site, G-Factory & G-Shock Store, and G-Shock Authorized Dealers store from 7th October 2022 onwards.
