Casio boasts that the G-SHOCK GPW-1000 is the world’s first to use GPS and radio wave time-calibration hybrid technology for greater precision and reliability. Available now in Singapore for S$999.
The GPW-1000 comes in Blue (GPW-1000-1A), Black (GPW-1000-1B) and Orange (GPW-1000-4A).
The Casio G-SHOCK GPW-1000 is available at all G-FACTORY and G-FACTORY Premium stores in Singapore.
“The first G-SHOCK was born out of an engineer’s dream of creating an unbreakable watch,” said Koyu Kotani, Assistant General Manager, Timepiece Division, Casio Singapore.
Inspired by the speed and accuracy of modern aviators soaring through the skies, the hybrid technology uses both Global Positioning System (GPS) and radio wave time-calibration signals to ensure utmost precision and reliability for aviation adventures.
Casio’s innovative timekeeping system enables the GPW-1000 to simultaneously receive both GPS and radio wave time calibration signals from six stations worldwide.
The Casio GPW-1000 is packed into a lightweight 126g body, complete with Casio’s trademark Triple G Resist construction to make it indestructible to meet the needs of pilots and aviation enthusiasts.
Wearers can travel anywhere in the world and rely on the watch to accurately adjust the time display, reflecting changes in time zones and daylight savings.
“Since 1983, our designs have continued to evolve to capture new trends and challenge the limits with advanced technology so that we always surpass the imagination of our customers. With the debut of Casio’s new hybrid timekeeping system, the GPW-1000 is probably one of the most spectacular series in our premium range of G-SHOCK timepieces,” said Kotani.
The watch frame is also reinforced with fine resin to protect built-in GPS antennas while still allowing the sensitivity to receive precise time and location signals regardless of terrain or weather condition.
The GPW-1000 sports wrist bands are made of a resin material strengthened with carbon fibre, while the metal bezel is treated with a hard, diamond-like carbon coating that is both sophisticated and scratch resistant.
For long lasting performance, the watch also features shadow-dispersing solar cells to receive light and a low-power GPS LSI to receive GPS signals without draining the batteries.
Other useful functions include water resistance of up to 200 metres, a Super Illuminator LED light for increased visibility as well as Casio’s proprietary Smart Access technology that enables quick and intuitive access to the various functions via a single dial.
