Casio’s stylish G- SHOCK brand celebrated its 30th anniversary with an exciting celebrity driven event that included James Marsden, Jessica Stam and Brook Lopez, among others, and introduction of three exclusive timepieces: MTG, Rangeman and GDX6900.
The first timepiece introduced was the completely revamped G-SHOCK classic: the iconic 6900. Making this favorite almost 10% larger in size, the GDX6900 is mega and packed with G-SHOCK’s latest performance technologies; backed by spokesperson Brook Lopez.
Expanding on their revolutionary Master of G collection, G-SHOCK introduced the Rangeman: a military inspired timepiece for first response professionals to truly master all natural elements.
Baby-G stepped up its style with the chicest designs to date. Introduced by supermodel Jessica Stam, the fashionable BA110, BA111 and BA112 timepieces come in nine colorways and boast a layered 3D metallic face.
