TOKYO, February 21, 2007 — Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced today the release of a gold-colored G-SHOCK® watch in the G-011 line. The new watch is the latest addition to Casio’s new-style G-SHOCK “C3” (C-cubed) series.
The C3 series, offered since October 2005, maintains the rugged G-SHOCK look but sports an innovative design that appeals to the fashion-conscious young people of today. The three C’s stand for “creative, contemporary, and conceptual.” C3 watches create a smart look with bold forms and exciting colors, and are popular with trend-setting young people who appreciate European fashion.
The newly released G-011BD-9ADR blends beautiful curves extending from the case to the band with a linear-looking square face for a pleasing three-dimensional effect. It also increases the choice of metallic colors in the G-011 line. Ion plating* is used on the entire watch body to achieve the gold finish, and the dial is rendered in black. The combination of brilliant gold and fearless black creates a stunning but rugged look. The new model also boasts a full range of functions, including a convenient world time display for 27 cities worldwide and a stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, as well as alarm and timer functions.
Accompanying the new gold watch, the silver G-011D-1ADR also joins the G-011 line. It features an all-silver body coupled with a black face dial.
* Ion Plating (IP) A surface treatment that is highly resistant to abrasion and rust, achieved through the use of ionized metal to apply a hard coating in a vacuum. | |
