Casio releases first G-SHOCK watch using forged carbon fiber

Casio Computer Co.
, Ltd.
has announced a new addition to its G-SHOCK G-series Master portfolio of shock-resistant watches designed for the most extreme conditions

The new GWG-2000 features forged carbon fiber from aircraft and racing materials, a first for the G-SHOCK watch collection

Forged carbon fiber is a special carbon fiber reinforced resin, which is lighter than stainless steel but has better tensile strength than stainless steel
.
Forged carbon fiber can be pressed into a variety of complex shapes for the lugs that connect the bezel to the strap at both ends, structurally protecting the surface
.

Forged carbon fiber is produced by kneading fine particles of carbon fiber into resin, which is then forged in a die under high temperature and pressure
.
The fine carbon particles on the surface can be seen from certain angles, forming a random pattern of black and grey, which not only looks attractive but special
.

This watch also features newly developed mud-resistant push buttons

The combination of stainless steel button tube and internal silicone buffer material not only absorbs shock, but also provides a tight seal for superior dust and mud resistance

The case is made of lightweight, durable carbon fiber reinforced resin

The watch has rearranged materials and construction, and the case is 1.
9mm thinner than the previous model
