The 40th anniversary Flare Red model, the GWG-2040FR in now available. Featuring a multicolour laminated bezel made with phosphorescent materials in the famous red colour of G-SHOCK, evoking solar flares, which are the massive eruptions of intense energy from the sun’s surface. Using a newly developed technique to laminate carbon and coloured glass fiber sheets together, Phosphorescent particles are mixed into the glass fiber sheets to create powerful designs that are stunning even in the dark. The bezel of every single watch has its own unique look, since the materials present a one-of-a-kind appearance each time. A solar flare-inspired pattern printed on the dial with clear toner adds to the dynamic face design. For the GWG-2040FR, phosphorescent particles are also mixed into the forged carbon of the lugs that connect the case to the band to create random patterns of wondrous glow-in-the-dark beauty. The logo commemorating the G-SHOCK 40th anniversary, designed by world-renowned graffiti artist Eric Haze, is engraved on the case back. These timepieces also feature four stars to signify “40,” an extra-special touch for the first wave of models to commemorate 40 years of G-SHOCK innovation. Featuring a built-in Compass, Altimeter, Barometer and Thermometer, as well as MultiBand 6 Radio Controlled technology for timekeeping accuracy and Tough Solar for longevity, this incredible timepiece is essential in an environment.
