MASTER OF G - LAND
MUDMASTER GWG-2000CR
Published on 14 Aug 2023
Introducing the latest addition to the G-SHOCK MUDMASTER series of watches designed and engineered for use by those whose work takes them into extreme environments scattered with rubble, dirt, and debris. The GWG-2000CR is inspired by harsh natural environments and incorporates a cracked pattern on the dial, bezel, and band. The bezel is coated with black ion plating (IP), and then laser-peeling and aged to create the cracks. The cracked pattern of the band is created by printing the entire surface and then hot stamping it for an uneven surface.
This model has been downsized by adopting a forged carbon bezel and a case with a carbon core guard structure while maintaining the dust-proof and mudproof construction required for missions in sand, dirt, and mud. Mud Resist buttons, whose structure combines a stainless steel button pipe with silicon buffer material, contribute to making this model thinner. Its forged carbon bezel is formed by kneading finely crushed carbon fiber into resin and then heat-pressing the resin into a mold. This process makes it possible to reinforce complex shapes with carbon fibers.
Function-wise, this model is equipped with triple sensor capabilities for measurement of bearing information, barometric pressure and altitude, and temperature. Features to enhance readability include large Arabic numeral hour markers, extra-thick arrow-shaped hands, dual LED light illumination, a sapphire crystal, and more.
Available online and in-stores on 18 August 2023.
PRODUCT MOVIE
Forged carbon bezel
The bezel is made from forged carbon fibre, a composite material used in aircraft fuselages, at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions. Carbon fibre-reinforced resin is forged in a press die at high temperature and pressure, producing strong, lightweight parts with complex shapes.
Carbon Core Guard Structure
Offering strength, lightness, and excellent durability, the carbon fibre-reinforced resin case protects the module. These properties of carbon fibre made it possible to reduce the size of the case, which is 1.5mm slimmer than the previous model (GWG-1000).
Dust and mud-resistant structure to support land missions in the harshest conditions.
Newly developed Mud Resist buttons combine with stainless steel button pipes and a silicone buffer material to add toughness that will withstand long-term use.
Dial designed for optimum visibility outdoors
The large-diameter dial gives a sense of depth and makes room for the large dimensional index marks. The mode indicator at the 9 o'clock position has an arrow-shaped hand and is angled to offer better visibility from a low angle.
Exterior design inspired by professional gear
Design details are inspired by professional gear, including the fine texturing on the band, the checked surface texture of the crown, and ribbed guards to protect the front buttons. The exterior design offers both practicality and aesthetic appeal.
Super Illuminator (high-brightness double LED light) for maintaining watch readability in the dark
Triple sensor (digital compass, altimeter, barometer/thermometer) senses natural changes
Multi-Band 6 radio-controlled solar watch for accurate time keeping
Scratch-resistant, highly transparent sapphire crystal with a non-reflective coating
