In celebration of Casio’s upcoming 35th anniversary, Casio G-SHOCK announced a special, limited edition GOLD TORNADO collection. Featuring three classic G-SHOCK models, the commemorative collection was designed with brilliant gold colour accents against the brand’s signature black and red colour scheme.
The collection includes Master of G GRAVITYMASTER, G-STEEL and FROGMAN timepieces, which each boast monolithic black bodies with bright red on the inside band and signature stamp “SINCE 1983” on the watch face. Additionally, each model features non-reflective sapphire glass and gold ion plating on the main metal parts including the bezel, case, and screws, further representing the brand’s aspiration to astonish and delight their fans with each new release.
On the back, each case is engraved with the 35th-anniversary logo designed by world-renowned graphic artist Eric Haze. The strap keeper includes a star emblem signifying the brand’s 35 years, and each watch will be sold in a special gold-coloured packaging.
