“Cool Eyes” G-SHOCK: Cool Watches, Pioneering Tough Design
Always expanding the frontier of style and shock-resistant design, G-SHOCK introduces the GAV01, G-SHOCK “cool eyes” or alternately known as “alien eyes” by fans. True innovation starts with the shock-resistant external structure by combining the bezel with the case and band. This integrates the external indices and spherical glass into an venturous new design. The fearless fashion statement is bolstered by new magnetic-hand shock technology. G-SHOCK knows cool watches, and with four energetic colorways, the GAV01 is vibrant style incarnate, furthering timepiece design and style. Revolutionary in its integration of style and function, the flair and charisma of the G-SHOCK GAV01 make for a unique collection of cool watches.

The Cool GAV01 Character
The story of G-SHOCK’s continuous evolution of cool watches through the Spirit of Toughness
Phase 1
The famous G-SHOCK rubber-ball prototype developed by Mr. Ibe in the Hamura R&D laboratory comes to life and bursts through the window of the laboratory.
Phase 2
The rubber-ball prototype is infused with the Spirit of Toughness passed on by Mr. Ibe’s desire to create an unbreakable watch. Now sentient, the proto-G-SHOCK is extremely curious about everything, but it doesn't yet have a personality.
Phase 3
Learning to take part in a rich life with others, it evolves, guided by its Spirit of Toughness. Acquiring powerful spiky feet, it seeks adventures full of creativity and friendship.
Each color of the cool eyes character has a distinct nature. The evolution of cool watches continues.
Features of the G-SHOCK GAV01
Shock-resistant structure with an original, new exterior
The center case protecting the module is covered by an exterior part that employs an integrated bezel and band construction. The large dimensional indexes overlap the glass, also functioning as bumpers to absorb shocks. This uniquely powerful exterior design stays true to the characteristic shock-resistance of G-SHOCK, but with a whole new look that redefines cool watches.
Shock-resistant module featuring Shock Release Hand
Casio has developed a new magnetic holding structure, a new design where the hands, which are vulnerable to impact, are not directly fixed to the shaft but are attached using magnetic force. This magnetic attachment allows the Shock Release Hand (minute hand) to absorb and dissipate impacts effectively. This new technology also makes it possible to create larger hands and offers more flexibility in styling. The GAV01: cool watches, innovative technologies.
Note: Because the structure uses magnetic attachment, the minute hand may shake due to impact or vibration. Additionally, immediately after an impact or vibration, the minute hand may temporarily shift out of position, but it will return to the correct position within a few minutes.
High-impact design expressing ultimate toughness
Toughness-oriented, oversized design gives the timepiece an overwhelming sense of presence. Presenting an organic form with an integrated bezel and band construction, the watch incorporates bumper-type indexes and side buttons expressing powerful strength with a convex, protruding shape featuring sharply defined edges. In addition, the use of spherical glass gives the distinctive form an even more striking look.
* At certain viewing angles, the interior of the dial may be difficult to see due to special spherical surface processing applied to the glass.
Analog-digital combination face featuring a bold, innovative design
The analog-digital combination face employs a layered construction, incorporating a metallic dial with openwork (a technique used to create decorative see-through sections) and a full-screen LCD. The strikingly original design features a layout including specially designed oversized hour and minute hands in the center and an indicator hand positioned within the LCD. Theses cool watches are offered in four color options: metallic silver, neon yellow, blue-purple, and matte black. The striking look gives the G-SHOCK “cool eyes” its bold flair, which some fans excitedly name “alien eyes.” That innovative design captures the legacy of the G-SHOCK commitment to ultimate toughness and fearless style.
