G-SHOCK began with an engineer's brief calling for

development of an “unbreakable watch.”

CASIO responded by organizing Project Team TOUGH in 1981.

The team produced over 200 experimental prototypes for performance tests,

spending about two years on structural development and parts enhancement.

Finally, in 1983, the original shock-resistant structure was completed.

This marked the birth of the first G-SHOCK model, the DW-5000C.

Throughout the years since, this tough watch has raised challenges insatiably

based on its inherited shock-resistant structure.

G-SHOCK continues to take up new challenges beyond

the limits of time and common sense.
