G-SHOCK is known for its tough Master of G military watches, which are delineated in three categories: MUDMASTER for land, GULFMASTER for sea, and GRAVITYMASTER for air. Each series of watches includes features designed specifically for its intended area of operations. The MUDMASTER resists mud and dust, the GULFMASTER monitors atmospheric and tidal conditions, and the GRAVITYMASTER is reinforced against shock, vibration, and centrifugal force.
When searching for design inspiration for the latest GRAVITYMASTER watch, G-SHOCK examined a flight jacket. Its olive drab exterior and high-visibility orange inner lining have been reflected in the new Olive Green GRAVITYMASTER (Model GA1100KH-3A). This watch features an olive 52mm case and band, with bright orange and white accents.
Wide hour and minute hands show the time in your current location, but there’s also a secondary location time displayed at the 9:00 position. This is ideal for those who frequently cross time zones or telecommute to remote locations. Additionally, the built-in Twin Sensor includes compass bearing and temperature readout, both useful features for any survivalist. The compass even incorporates bi-directional calibration and magnetic declination correction.
CASIO G-SHOCK technology makes this watch rugged and durable, with all of the following standard features:
- 200M water resistance and shock resistance
- World time with 31 time zones (48 cities + UTC)
- Up to five daily alarms
- 1/100th-second stopwatch and countdown timer
- 12/24 hour formats
- Auto Super-Illuminator LED light with automatic switch and selectable duration (1.5 or 3 seconds)
- Neo-brite Luminous hands and markers which provide LED light afterglow
- Hand Shift feature – hands move out of the way to provide a clear view of the digital display
The GRAVITYMASTER GA1100KH-3A will be available this month (November 2016) for a retail price of $250. For more information and current availability, check out GSHOCK.com.
