The new Casio G-Shock is an eye-catching watch with an orange design looking like a NASA spacesuit. The G-Shock draws color comparisons with NASA’s iconic orange-colored spacesuits used in various missions. Astronauts wear the suit when in ascent or entry aspects of space flights. The strategic orange color of the suits is to enhance their rescue if they are to bail out from the capsule.
The new Casio watch is inspired by the NASA suit and mimics some of the features of the real suit. It has a black dial that represents the black visor on the helmets of astronauts when they wear the spacesuit. The thin blue line on the dial also mimics the blue accents on the spacesuit. The band loop of the watch has an American flag design while the back casing has an engraved astronaut.
Casio has a history of active engagement with NASA over the years. The G-Shock is among a select collection of timepieces that NASA has approved for use in its space shuttle and aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The current model is the third NASA-branded model that Casio has released so far. An all-white model and a black+white model are the predecessors to the orange-colored G-Shock. The new Casio G-Shock is priced at $170 on a limited offer. It is the most expensive of the trio of NASA-branded G-Shock watches.
The orange G-Shock is available currently on the Casio website. Casio says it comes with advanced technical capabilities including Tough Solar Technology and Multi-Band 6 Atomic Timekeeping. The run time of the watch on a single charge is approximately 10 months of normal use and 22 months on standby.
