A Tough Model with Compass and Thermometer, Featuring Dust and Mud Resistance
Since the late 1990s, G-SHOCK and BABY-G have produced collaboration models with various environmental organizations, continuing to support their initiatives. This time, resonating with the activities of "Wildlife Promising," a certified NPO dedicated to the conservation of African wildlife and the coexistence of humans and animals, a special model has been born.
The GG-1000 from the Master of G MUDMASTER series was chosen as the base model. Inspired by the "leopard," the case is black, and the band features a bold animal print.
The base model, GG-1000, allows for compass readings simply by pressing the large button at the 3 o'clock position. Temperature can also be measured and displayed by pressing the button at 4 o'clock, enhancing operability for intuitive readings even in harsh conditions without visual confirmation.
Furthermore, the buttons employ a button guard cylinder structure that embodies dust and mud resistance, preventing the ingress of fine sand and mud, while also mitigating impact on the buttons and improving operability.
For enhanced visibility, the dial features wide hour and minute hands, large index markers at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, and a sprocket-inspired disc hand for the mode display.
This is a special collaboration model of the MUDMASTER, equipped with a twin sensor for compass and temperature readings, featuring dust and mud resistance suitable for harsh terrestrial environments, and inspired by the "leopard," the king of the land.
