Casio introduces an all-new model to its popular G-SHOCK Master of G collection of men's tactical watches, Designed with aviation professionals in mind, the GRAVITYMASTER, GRB200 boasts three colorways with a unique Carbon Core Guard construction, carbon-infused resin bezels and resin bands in black (GRB200-1A), orange (GRB200-1A9) or blue (GRB200-1A2) to provide elevated strength and durability in lightweight cases.

The new GRB200 packs essential functions and all the accuracy and functionality required for flight. Its carbon core guard structure protects the module with a resin case reinforced with carbon fibers. In addition, the model features a brand new and unique button design with large buttons set at different angles and shapes arranged in a way to resemble a fighter jet control stick with powerful button guards to prevent operating errors while wearing gloves. 

The GRB200 has G-SHOCK's most-premium features, including a Carbon-insert Bezel that's engineered with a three-layer structure to provide the utmost strength and capability to withstand harsh conditions pilots handle on a daily basis.  The top layer is semi-transparent to reveal the carbon construction inside.

The Calorie Consumption Display calculates data from the step counter and takes altitude measurement into account. The Location Indicator records a current location on the app, and the watch acts as a backtracking device by pointing to the location with the second hand and showing the distance on the LCD display. The watch automatically adjusts the time through the Bluetooth connection and has a phone finder function. The menu mode on the LCD display is also customizable. All these features are accessible and easily viewed on the G-SHOCK Connected smartphone app.
