CASIO - MTG-S1000, Crowning the G-SHOCK Evolution

March 2014


Casio’s toughest brand G-SHOCK – one of the few genuinely iconic digital watches – needs no introduction. But 30 years after its launch, the brand understands that those who grew up with the G-SHOCK in their youth may now be looking for a more prestigious timepiece with a more refined look. Enter the Casio G-SHOCK MT-G.

The MT in the name means “Metal Twisted”, since this trio of new models employs a fusion of metal and resin in the case to offer an elegant design yet maintain the absolute toughness that characterizes all G-SHOCK models. The MTG-S1000 is a venture into the premium watch segment, and yet remains true to the brand ethos.
The collection features a model in stainless steel, one in stainless steel with black IP coating and a limited edition in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the G-SHOCK, in black IP with red accents throughout the watch.

Smart Access
This proprietary CASIO system for analogue movements combines multiple motors with an electronic crown structure for joint operation of various functions. Once unlocked, simple operation of the electronic crown makes actions such as World Time city selection and alarm setting even easier.

Layered Composite Band
The solid stainless steel band is layered on the underside with soft-touch, low-thermal conductance resin panels for a luxurious feel against the skin and further enhances the MT-G’s overall shock resistance.

Core Guard Structure
The central portion “core” of the watch, which is resin, is sandwiched between upper and lower metal frames and secured with shared tension screws cushioned with Alpha GEL®. This new Core Guard Structure enabled MT-G to achieve its Triple G Resist toughness. Additional protection is provided by the extremely scratch-resistant sapphire glass with non-reflective coating.

High Quality 3D Index
The watch face’s legibility has been enhanced by employing a three dimensional, layered dial structure featuring individually molded parts such as the time index and dial frame, ensuring clear visibility.
