A Tough Watch That Withstands Intense Rallies, Colored in the "TLC" Team Colors

The "GWG-2000TLC-1AJR" from G-SHOCK and "Team Land Cruiser Toyota Auto Body" is a collaboration model featuring special specifications, including the team colors of blue, white, and red as accent colors, and the team logo on the strap and case back. A splatter pattern, inspired by mud and sand splashed onto the car body during intense racing, adorns the strap, bezel, and buckle.
The base model is the "GWG-2000" from the MUDMASTER series, designed for use in harsh environments with piled-up debris and sand. By adopting a newly developed forged carbon bezel and a carbon core guard structure case, it achieves a more compact size. Furthermore, a newly developed mud-resistant button, combining stainless steel button pipes with silicone cushioning material, contributes to a slimmer profile.
The forged carbon bezel is made by kneading finely crushed carbon fibers into resin and then hot-pressing and solidifying it in a mold. This allows for complex shapes to be carbonized, successfully strengthening the bezel. In terms of functionality, in addition to accurate time display via radio wave reception, it is equipped with a triple sensor to quickly acquire information on direction, barometric pressure/altitude, and temperature, supporting the wearer even in harsh conditions. This timepiece is sure to capture the attention of not only G-SHOCK fans but also Land Cruiser enthusiasts.
