Limited Casio G-Shock Pokémon GA-110PKM-7A watch: the perfect accessory for collectors and gamers

The famous Casio brand has officially announced the release of a unique model of the G-Shock Pokémon GA-110PKM-7A wristwatch, dedicated to the upcoming thirty years of the iconic Pokemon game and animation universe. This stylish novelty, designed for fans of the franchise, will stand out with its non-standard transparent design and original equipment with an exclusive case that copies in detail the canonical gadget of pocket monster trainers – Poké Ball.

Design

The mega-popular G-Shock GA-110 watch served as the base chassis for the new limited collaboration. However, the exclusive model received a completely different transparent case in combination with a wear-resistant polymer strap. The main color accents on the hands, dial and mechanical buttons are made in red, blue and green tones. This move is a tribute to the historic cartridges of the first Pokémon role-playing games, which were released on the Nintendo Game Boy portable console back in 1996.

Characteristics of the model

In addition to impeccable gaming aesthetics, this is a high-tech device that inherited the strength of the original line. The device is distinguished by the following specifications:

• Construction: legendary branded G-Shock shock resistance with high-quality protection against magnetic fields;
• Glass: high-strength tempered mineral glass that protects against chips and scratches;
• Water resistance: certified protection of 20 bar, which allows submersion under water to a depth of 200 meters;
• Time functions: world time mode with display of the current clock in 48 key metropolises of the planet;
• Sports functionality: high-resolution stopwatch, precise timer and 5 independent alarms;
• Interface: automatic calendar programmed up to the year 2099, as well as soft built-in LED lighting.
