Showcasing a radical transformation in exterior design and module construction, the unique organic look and magnetic hand technology make this one cool watch. Enthusiastically named the G-SHOCK "alien eyes" by fans, the sleek, matte-black bezel and band of the GAV01-1A creates a sharp contrast with the polished finish of the indices which are outside of the spherical glass. Easy-to-use buttons are contoured to mirror the aggressive indices, giving the entire watch a shape reminiscent of original G-SHOCK developer Kikuo Ibe’s famous rubber ball prototype. This cool watch honors tradition, pushes the boundaries of style and function, and is a blast to wear.

A complex openwork dial is a large part of the allure, worked in a "cool eyes" shape that grants a large window to the full LCD underneath. The analog mode hand works in conjunction with the LCD screen, creating a sense of depth and presence to the tech. Shock resistant as ever, the GAV01-1A sports large hands, which are normally susceptible to bumps and shakes. A special G-SHOCK innovation uses magnet technology to affix the hands to the shaft, allowing the minute hand to move independent of the shaft and absorb shocks. Even if jarred out of place, the minute hand will shortly return to the proper position. 

The bezel, band, and case are designed to assist with the absorption and distribution of shocks. Ready for any athletic or adventurous activity, the GAV01- 1A is 200-meter water resistant. A double LED light—the G-SHOCK Super Illuminator—illuminates the analog dial and backlights the digital display, giving you a great read no matter the ambient light level. Although eye catching, the GAV01 isn’t just a cool watch; it’s a marriage of form, function, and flair.  manual included
