Hybrid Metal and Resin Model Evolves

Among G-SHOCK, Japan's renowned shock-resistant watch, the "MT-G" stands as its premium line. Its concept is "hybrid." The new "MT-G," the "MTG-G1000D," will be released on September 18th.

With G-SHOCK destined to constantly move forward, this new "MT-G" achieves astonishing evolution.

First, the "MT-G's" most distinctive feature is its hybrid case, a fusion of metal (stainless steel) and resin (urethane). The exterior of this hybrid case reveals numerous meticulous details.

For example, observe the lug area where the band attaches; the lugs are integrated with the case back. Instead of a conventional case or welding, molding them as one with the case back from the start enhances overall durability. They are secured by shafts and screws, also serving as design accents for the MT-G.

The bracelet is also a hybrid of metal and resin. The surface is stainless steel, while the underside is a "layer composite band" employing fine resin, which combines strength, suppleness, and a pleasant feel. In contrast to the solid image of the exterior, it conforms exceptionally well to the wrist, and there's no cold sensation upon wearing. A satisfying wearing experience is always guaranteed.

The exterior design aims for versatility, suitable for both on and off-duty wear. While robust elements like shafts and screws piercing the case are incorporated throughout, the overall form is sleek. Functional gear-like qualities and accessory-like elegance are fused in excellent balance.

Furthermore, details abound, such as forged buttons with intricate designs and a composite crown made from layered materials. The case surface boasts a beautiful, lustrous finish achieved through Zaratsu polishing, a technique used on luxury watch metal materials. The crystal is also made of sapphire crystal, second only to diamond in hardness.

The functional aspects as a tool and the beauty as a luxury watch alone make this new model a compelling purchase. However, this hybrid's advancements extend beyond its exterior.

Double and Triple Shock Resistance Structures Protect the Movement

The reason G-SHOCK is G-SHOCK lies in its powerful shock-resistant structure. This "MT-G" incorporates multiple layers of hybrid mechanisms for shock resistance.

First is "Triple G Resist." In addition to the standard G-SHOCK shock resistance, it exhibits strong resistance to centrifugal force and intense, fine vibrations. This shock resistance is achieved by "α-GEL" surrounding the movement; the material placed on the sides and bottom of the movement absorbs all G-forces applied to it. This is a durable structure befitting the Metal Twisted "MT-G."

Furthermore, the movement is robustly protected by the evolution of the "MT-G's" unique "Core Guard Structure." The essence of G-SHOCK lies in suspending the movement within the case to minimize transmitted shock. The "MT-G" evolves this into a "Core Guard Structure" with a hollow construction where the movement is suspended by a metal case connecting the bezel and case back via four stainless steel pipes. Fine resin acts as a spring, cushioning shocks transmitted from the bezel and functioning as a shock absorber.

"Triple G Resist" + "New Core Guard Structure" showcase G-SHOCK's advanced shock-resistance technology. Casio's relentless pursuit of durability is truly commendable.

This is truly a tough watch, and if it always keeps accurate time, it's the "ideal wristwatch." And another technological advancement elevates this "MT-G" into precisely that "ideal watch." We will introduce it on the next page.

The Ideal Radio-Controlled Watch Fusing Standard and GPS Satellite Radio Waves

What elevates the MT-G, with its sophisticated exterior and toughness, into an exquisite timepiece is its GPS satellite radio wave reception function.

Casio is already a global leader in conventional radio-controlled watches. With "Multi Band 6," which receives standard radio waves transmitted from six stations worldwide—two in Japan, two in Europe (UK, Germany), and one each in the US and China—there's no need to adjust the time as long as you are within the standard radio wave reception area.

In addition to this standard radio wave reception, it can receive GPS satellite radio waves, allowing for accurate time correction anywhere on Earth at any time. By receiving time and position data transmitted from GPS satellites, it instantly corrects to the current time in any of the world's 40 time zones.

However, in urban environments with dense buildings or indoors, standard radio waves from ground stations are received more reliably. Therefore, within the reception range of standard radio waves, the watch automatically determines the radio wave conditions and receives the most advantageous waves. The design incorporates two antennas, one for standard radio waves and one for GPS waves, necessitating a compact motor and other space-saving innovations.

It also features Dual Dial World Time, displaying home time and local time (another time zone) simultaneously on the center hour and minute hands and sub-dials. A newly developed "dual coil motor" at the 6 o'clock position enables ultra-fast hand movement, allowing for instantaneous switching of times between two cities.

In this way, the "MT-G" boasts a high level of perfection in its exterior, durability, and precision, truly making it an "ideal watch."
