DOVER, N.J., Aug. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Casio unveils an all-new addition to the popular G-SHOCK G-STEEL line up of men's refined timepieces. The GSTB300 is the first G-STEEL watch with a front light button, which adopts a new Carbon Core Guard structure that delivers superior shock resistance by leveraging the lightness and outstanding rigidity of carbon fiber. The model also boasts a sleek, tough look with a stainless-steel bezel, black dial and polyurethane band.

The new G-STEEL model showcases the perfect combination of elevated strength and updated technical features with a Carbon Core Guard Structure comprised of a carbon fiber reinforced resin case and Tough Solar Power.

About G-SHOCK
CASIO's shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch is synonymous with toughness, born from the developer Mr. Ibe's dream of 'creating a watch that never breaks'. Over 200 handmade samples were created and tested to destruction until finally in 1983 the first, now iconic G-SHOCK hit the streets of Japan and began to establish itself as 'the toughest watch of all time'. Each watch encompasses the 7 elements; electric shock resistance, gravity resistance, low temperature resistance, vibration resistance, water resistance, shock resistance and toughness. The watch is packed with Casio innovations and technologies to prevent it from suffering direct shock; this includes internal components protected with urethane and suspended timekeeping modules inside the watch structure. Since its launch, G-SHOCK has continued to evolve, continuing to support on Mr. Ibe's mantra "never, never give up." www.gshock.com
