While Swiss watches boast a long history and tradition, domestic watches have continued to study and follow them, while following their own trajectory. It evolved by developing advanced technologies such as quartz and GPS solar, and pursuing the essence of watches as practical tools. Better time for people everywhere. It can be said that it is the democratization of watches. One of the new frontiers that has been opened up in this way is Casio’s G-SHOCK. In the 1970s, quartz took the world by storm, but mass production and low prices required decommoditization. This is where the innovative idea of “toughness” was born.
However, it was difficult to develop a shockproof watch that would not break even if it was dropped, which was originally a precision machine, and as a result of spending more than two years, the G-SHOCK was born in 1983. Initially, it was mainly used in sports, outdoor scenes, and harsh environments, but in the 90s, it became associated with skaters and hip-hop street culture. Since then, it has matured into a full-fledged tool watch that meets the needs of professionals, while wearing a design and style that is alive with the sensibilities of the times. And more than 40 years after its birth, the one-of-a-kind shock-resistant digital watch created by Japan continues to evolve even now.

The design of the dial is inspired by the route opened by the icebreaker of polar exploration. The image of an icebreaker crushing the ice in the Arctic Ocean, which is closed by thick sea ice, overlaps with the image of Seiko’s history of dive watch development and JAMSTEC’s Arctic research carving out the future of Japan as a maritime nation.
The three-dimensional molded pattern, reminiscent of broken ice, has an increasing blue intensity towards the center, perfectly expressing the abyss of the Arctic Ocean, where beauty and severity coexist. Another feature is that the surface is covered with thick transparent paint and polished to create a three-dimensional effect. On the other hand, the blue ceramic bezel emphasizes its functionality as a dive watch, creating a contrasting finish with the dial.
