Casio Releases New G-SHOCK Watches with Bold
Three-dimensional Face Design

TOKYO, March 7, 2012 — Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced today the release of new shock-resistant G-SHOCK watches. The new GA-150 and GA-150A feature a three-dimensional watch face that expresses toughness and strength.

The new models have a bold watch face design that makes the resin material look almost as if carved out of a block of stone, conveying the tough, street culture look G-SHOCK is known for. The dial has a concave design that sinks into the watch face and a glossy finish, which creates distinctive shadows and a feeling of depth. The lines running vertically and horizontally on the bezel look like they have been carved with a knife and make the solid design stand out even more. The side buttons have an anti-slip surface for more reliable operation.

In addition to the GA-150 watches, which come in black and white, the GA-150A watches are available in a choice of three colors with a striking smoky finish: metallic orange, green, and blue. These models feature a semi-gloss coating on the dial to achieve a high-quality aluminum appearance. The bezel, band, and dial are rendered in the same color, which accentuates the three-dimensional face design and the rest of the bold watch shape.

In addition to shock resistance, both models feature a 1/1000-second stopwatch and magnetic resistance. These practical watches offer easy readability thanks to the bold, three-dimensional design.
