Specification

The width spans 45.4mm across the wrist to provide a strong presence. Casio keeps the total thickness down to a highly comfortable 11.8mm.

The caseback features an engraving of the iconic Los Angeles International Airport Theme Building.
This structure serves as a famous monument to mid-century Space Age architectural beauty. The design choice introduces a rich layer of cultural history directly onto the wearable hardware.
High-performance materials guarantee the extreme durability that consumers routinely expect from the G-Shock name.
A specialized Carbon Core Guard structure surrounds the inner electronics to deflect heavy impacts. The watch uses a durable and comfortable resin strap to secure the case tightly.
A solid piece of tough mineral glass shields the delicate dial from external scratches. The watch achieves water resistance rating down to 200 meters.
Dial
The dial displays a captivating color scheme dominated by refined metallic silver tones. Master watchmakers apply a sophisticated brushed and polished finishing technique across the entire dial surface.
A precise vapor deposition process coats the hands and the markers evenly. This manufacturing technique ensures the indicators project a highly premium metallic silver sheen.

This transparent case allows light to pass through the edges of the timepiece beautifully. The design creates an excellent visual balance between industrial structure and modern clarity.

The features include an automated calendar that requires no manual adjustments until the year 2099. Owners can travel confidently with a world time function spanning 48 global cities.
The module packs several highly practical secondary features for everyday lifestyle management. Including 1/100 second stopwatch, countdown timer, and 5 daily alarms.
A hand shift function moves the physical pointers away from the digital window automatically. Dual white LED lights illuminate both the dial and the screen in dark conditions.
This collaboration perfectly unites advanced timekeeping utility with ambitious designer streetwear fashion.
Furthermore, Casio delivers this special timepiece inside a highly unique capsule-shaped custom gift box. The packaging echoes sleek vintage spaceship aesthetics to maximize overall collectible appeal.
