Award Winners
Of all the tough G-SHOCK shock-resistant watches, the RANGEMAN is designed to take on the most punishing conditions with its dust- and mud-resistant structure built for survival settings. The GPR-H1000 is equipped with six sensors, including an optical heart rate sensor, as well as built-in GPS functionality, for reliable performance in the harshest natural environments.
Large metal side guards at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions protect against shock and impacts, while oversized mud-resist buttons make it easy for users to operate functions, even in the dark with gloves on. Casio carefully studied user movement and operation flow in real-world conditions to arrive at the optimal form, delivering a new iconic design in this RANGEMAN timepiece.
The MRG-B2100 proudly joins the MR-G flagship line of G-SHOCK shock-resistant watches, boasting a dimensional latticework dial inspired by the master craftsmanship of traditional Japanese kigumi* wooden joinery techniques. Crafted with cutting-edge materials, the octagonal bezel alone consists of 27 separate components, each meticulously and individually polished before being assembled in a process as exacting as kigumi woodworking.
* Kigumi is a traditional Japanese construction method and woodworking technique used for wooden joinery without the use of nails or other metal fittings.
