Casio has unveiled its all-new G-Shock Gravitymaster GR-B300 watch series, designed for pilots and aviation enthusiasts. With its fighter jet-inspired design and advanced features, this watch promises to revolutionize the market for affordable pilot timepieces.
An aeronautical design that does not go unnoticed
The new Gravitymaster GR-B300 features a resolutely modern design, inspired by the fluid lines of contemporary fighter planes. The case cleverly incorporates Casio's Carbon Core Guard technology, combining carbon fiber and resin for optimal impact resistance.
Case specifications: โ Dimensions: 54.7 mm wide, 59 mm long, 15.7 mm thick โ Weight: 71 grams โ Water resistance: 200 meters
Casio offers three distinct color versions, each inspired by a different element of a fighter jet cockpit: โ GR-B300-1A: black with red accents (inspired by the base cockpit colors) โ GR-B300- 1A4: black and orange (inspired by the amber instrument lights) โ GR-B300-8A2: gray and blue (inspired by the heads-up display)
