Shock Culture is delighted to be an authorised dealer of a range of military G-Shock watches. If you are unfamiliar with this particular watch, you may find it interesting that it is the watch of choice for many divisions of armed forces around the globe, thanks to its durability and unique shock-resistant design. G-The Shock’s design is perfect for sportsmen and women who need a durable wristwatch for their outdoor pursuits, as well as members of the armed forces, who demand much from any piece of equipment that they use.

Benefits of the G-Shock Military Series

Aside from being great to look at, the G-Shock military watch packs a powerful punch in terms of more than just functionality and durability.

The G-Shock army watch is incredibly strong, boasting a tensile strength ten times that of iron. This is no mean feat since it weighs around a quarter of what an equivalent amount of iron would.
When you invest in this watch, you know that you will be wearing it for many years, thanks to its durable design which can withstand extreme fluctuation in temperature.
Some models of this watch are equipped with an altimeter and compass, which makes them ideal for you if you enjoy trekking across swathes of rugged terrain with little more than your wits for company. The G-Shock is the ultimate survival companion.

A History of the Casio Military Watch

In 1981, work commenced on developing the G-Shock watch. Kikuo Ibe and three other Casio employees set to work on this ambitious project – they called themselves “Team Tough”.

They were working to achieve three main things: the watch that they were designing had to be water-resistant to ten bar (100 metres), its battery should last ten years, and it had to withstand a drop of ten metres. After two years of painstaking research and hard work, the first G-Shock was released - the DW-5000C.
Ibe was inspired by a simple rubber ball that he had noticed bouncing. He carefully designed the watch and carefully put it together to resist shocks in the same way as the rubber ball, where the centre of the ball was not subjected to the same shocks as the exterior.
Essentially, each G-Shock army watch has a hollow case. A few crucial points within the casing support the unit that houses the timekeeping component with extra cushioning to protect it from impact. The G-Shock is well-protected in terms of G-force, vibrations, or most impacts.
