Christies - Casio Authorised G-SHOCK Jeweller for G-SHOCK GD100-1B
The new GD-100 lineup uses a high brightness white LED as a backlight for the digital display, a feature which expresses the toughness that G-SHOCK represents, in the form of bright light.
In addition to EL lighting elements, LED lighting elements are commonly used as backlights for digital watches, but it has been difficult, on the low power available to a watch, to achieve high brightness with LEDs. They also face limitations when it comes to the color of the luminescence.
Casio’s newly developed luminescence circuit drives a high brightness white LED without using any more power than previous backlights. It provides approximately 6 times* the brightness of a conventional LED, and achieves outstanding visibility, even in a bright location. Moreover, the watches are highly practical, with a long battery life of approximately seven years.
The GD-100 lineup boasts a comprehensive range of functions including a world time function showing the time in 48 cities around the world, five alarms, a stopwatch, and a countdown timer. There is also a flash alert function that blinks the backlight with the sound of the alarm or the time-up sound of the timer, and an auto-light function which automatically illuminates the display when the user tilts the watch toward the eyes to check the time.
The body of the watch has a round shape with large, easy-to-use buttons. The face design features five round LCD windows of different sizes all arranged in a row, which give the face a three-dimensional appearance when the high brightness LED lights up. The lineup includes a model with a sharp looking white LCD readout on a dark background, or inverted LCD.
