TOKYO, March 30, 2015 — Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced today the
latest additions to the G-SHOCK line of shock-resistant watches—three
new GA-1100 models featuring Casio's Dual Dial World Time function.
Designed for use by airplane pilots, this function simultaneously
displays the time in two different cities, such as cities of flight
departures and destinations.
The new GA-1100 watches are designed for pilots around the world, and
offer an improved world time functionality that is very easy to use. The
time in two different cities is simultaneously shown by the main hour
and minute hands and an inset dial at the nine o'clock position. When
flying, users can quickly check the time in both their departure point
and destination, allowing them to calculate the flight time and
anticipate their arrival time. To enable users to monitor the time more
intuitively, the watches can be set to show either the home time or the
world time on the main hour and minute hands. In addition to the world
time function, the watches come with a useful compass bearing function
for confirming the user's current location and direction to his or her
destination, and a handy thermometer function for checking the
temperature at the runway and inside the plane. With these functions,
users can access all the information they need when flying with just one
wristwatch. Furthermore, the GA-1100 watches are equipped with a
high-luminance LED light so that users can check time and measurements
even in a dark place.
The GA-1100 watches feature white hands and indicators over a black
watch face designed to look like a cockpit gauge. This contrasting color
scheme not only accentuates the design, but also makes it easier to
quickly check the time when flying. Moreover, the multilayered
indicators and prominent watch hands make the watch more readable and
express the toughness that G-SHOCK is known for.
Casio has integrated these functions and design features in a way that
makes these new GA-1100 models perfect watches for pilots.
