Casio GWA1000FC G-Aviation Timepiece

Casio announces its newest addition to the Gravity Defier Aviation lineup. Designed with Triple G resist, this watch can withstand the shock of three forces: gravitational dropping force, centrifugal gravitational force and vibration. The new watch also features an improved watch band with superior lightness and durability for even better comfort on the wrist.

The GWA1000FC features a new type of resin bracelet band. This new watch band is built from urethane pieces internally reinforced with metal, linked by coupling segments made of a new type of resin called “fine resin”. Fine resin is a light and durable material that provides unparalleled weight reduction compared to a metal band, with no compromise in durability. The simple one-touch, 3-fold clasp-style design of the buckle also makes the watch easier to take off and put on.

The Smart Access feature of this new addition to the G-Aviation line-up provides simple, intuitive access to vital information no matter where your adventures take you. Its electronic crown operations let you instantly change the city setting, switch between home time and world time city, or access Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The hour, minute and second hands are driven by separate, independent motors, so hands instantly move to the required positions no matter what type of operation you are performing.

The functions pilots rely on, such as World Time and the stopwatch, are completely intuitive to operate. To ensure reliable operation even while flying an aircraft, the crown switch also has a quick-lock mechanism that enables simple lock and release.

Designed with Triple G resist, this watch can withstand the shock of three forces: gravitational dropping force, centrifugal gravitational force and vibration.
