The Casio G-SHOCK Recrystallized series is a new range of timepieces designed with the brand's 40th anniversary in mind to help consumers enhance the style aesthetic of any wardrobe.
The watches are all constructed with recognizable models that have been heat-treated on the stainless steel to give each one a distinctly rugged appearance. What's achieved is a series of watches with a rock-like pattern across the surface, while also giving no two quite the same appearance.
The Casio G-SHOCK Recrystallized series watches come in three colors to choose from, which all also feature an enhanced strength thanks to the aforementioned heat process. Set to be available soon, the watches will be launched via the brand's online shop where consumers can pick them up starting at £269.
