Special solar flare-inspired designs featured
on multicolour carbon-insert bezels
Introducing new watches to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 1983 debut of G-SHOCK. These first two watches feature a solar flare theme. Designs evoking intensely blazing flares combine with the brand colour of red. This all-new look is achieved by making the bezels of layered carbon and coloured glass fibres, along with a phosphorescent material. The stunningly dynamic multicoloured design and the wondrously innovative glow-in-the-dark property of the material creates an altogether original worldview.
Lineup
Available for pre-sale online and at G-SHOCK ION Orchard Store from 5 Nov 2022, 11:00.
FEATURES
The G-SHOCK spirit of toughness is conveyed by evoking the dynamic energy and heat intensity of solar flares. Carbon and coloured glass fibres are laminated and hewn into bezel forms to produce random patterns. Meanwhile, use of glass fibre sheets containing phosphorescent particles creates stunning designs of wondrous glow-in-the-dark beauty.*Exact bezel patterns and phosphorescent hues will vary from watch to watch due to details of the manufacturing process.

Forged carbon fibre, a composite material used in aircraft fuselages, is used to make the special pair of components at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions. Carbon fibre and phosphorescent epoxy resin undergo high-temperature, high-pressure metallic moulding and cutting processes, followed by polishing and painting. While in bright light they retain their black appearance, in the dark they glow with solar flare patterns that match the bezel.

An Eric Haze-designed logo commemorating the 40th anniversary of G-SHOCK is engraved on the case back, while the stainless-steel band loop is laser-engraved with four stars and the words “SINCE 1983”.
