DOVER, N.J., July 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Longtime collaborators G-SHOCK and Hawaiian-based boardsport and lifestyle brand, In4mation have teamed up for a seventh installment collaboration watch – the "Milestones Timepiece" or GAX100X-4A. This limited edition watch offers a new design that merges the inherent toughness and technology of G-SHOCK with a deep color aesthetic that represents the active island style.

Symbolizing the long-standing partnership between G-SHOCK and In4mation, the new "Milestones Timepiece" features sea-foam blue highlights, a nod to the first, internationally acclaimed G-SHOCK and In4mation GLX watch collaboration. The deep orange color within the resin band complements the sea-foam blue, and resonates as a symbol of status, style, and confidence. In line with the Hawaiian culture of surfing and other watersports, the "Milestones Timepiece" or GAX100X-4A features 200M water resistance, tide indicator and moon graph for tracking the next big wave.

"After six collaborations with G-SHOCK, the seventh 'Milestones Timepiece' truly embodies the years of commitment and determination both brands have dedicated to this successful partnership," said Jun Jo, Marketing Director of In4mation. "We are proud to continue this journey and build upon our legacy with G-SHOCK."

"We're thrilled to work with In4mation yet again. After seeing the success of our previous collaboration models, we're excited to launch this next installment and commemorate the original collaboration that launched our long-standing partnership with the brand," said David Johnson, Vice President of Casio's Timepiece Division. "This seventh, limited edition timepiece is extra special, because it is the first time utilizing our brand new GAX100 case for collaboration, and there couldn't be a more fitting partner. It boasts a new case design with analog tide graph and moon data, and features the signature combination of G-SHOCK's superior function and technology, and In4mation's unique design and aesthetic."

This limited edition watch is outfitted with rugged capabilities including a Shock Resistant structure, and Magnetic Resistance in a 51.2 mm case. Additional features found in the GAX100X-4A include a thermometer, auto LED light, World Time (29 Time Zones / 48 Cities + UTC), 4 Daily Alarms & 1 Snooze, 1/100th Second Stopwatch (1000 Hr.), and a Countdown Timer (24 Hr.) and 12/24 Hr.
