Casio has partnered with Team Land Cruiser Toyota Auto Body to launch a unique watch called the GWG-B1000TLC-1AJR. This special version of the Master of G Mudmaster is designed to look like it can handle anything, from the apocalypse to the toughest rally races in the world.
A Design That Stands Out
The GWG-B1000TLC-1A draws its inspiration from the challenging night driving conditions of the Dakar Rally. Its design features a moonlit desert theme, with a black urethane strap that has a pattern resembling sand or dust. The gold ion-plated stainless steel ring around the band symbolizes a full moon shining over the sandy landscape.
Features for Adventure
Casio notes that the multi-color dial design takes cues from the GPS systems used in the team’s Dakar Rally Land Cruisers. The vibrant red, blue, and yellow accents reflect the colors found in the vehicle information displays. This color scheme is carried over to the watch’s two small hands and the second hand, enhancing visibility at night and providing a stark contrast against the black dial.
The GWG-B1000TLC-1AJR is equipped with Casio’s Triple Sensor technology, which lets you measure altitude, barometric pressure, and temperature, along with compass navigation features. It also includes a built-in location indicator to guide you to a preset destination, as well as a small dot-matrix display for showing time, date, sensor readings, and direction.
Built to Last
As you might expect from a Mudmaster, the GWG-B1000TLC-1 boasts remarkable durability. It is shockproof, dustproof, mudproof, and resistant to vibrations. The watch features a carbon-reinforced resin case that protects the internal module and a screw-lock crown that prevents dust and mud from getting inside.
Additional features of this watch include solar charging, Multiband 6 radio-controlled time adjustments, the ability to connect to your smartphone using the Casio app via Bluetooth, a bright double LED backlight, and standard timekeeping functions like world time, a stopwatch, and an auto calendar.
The G-Shock GWG-B1000TLC-1A x Team Land Cruiser Toyota Auto Body (what a long name!) will first be available in Japan. It is priced at ￥140,800 (around $889) and is set to be released in February. Based on previous collaborations with TLC, this watch is likely to reach international markets, including the US and Europe, in due time.
