2018 marks the 35th anniversary for Casio G-Shock; back in April of 1983, the first G-Shock (DW-5000C) was introduced. And over the course of 35 years, many new technologies were implemented into the G-Shock. Here, we have one of the anniversary edition in Full metal with Gold Ion Plated; (ref : GMW-B5000TFG-9), with smartphone link, radio controlled time accuracy and also using the Tough Solar system to charge the battery. Numerous features on this watch including automatic time adjustment – world time, reminder, alarm, chronograph, time and place log, phone finder, 20 bar water resistance. With a Bluetooth connection to a smartphone, the watch can automatically sync with internet time servers 4 times a day and automatically update daylight saving time and time zones. A reminder application provides flash alerts for up to five dates. The phone finder function will locate a missing phone (assuming it is still connected via Bluetooth). The time and place feature functions like a flight log and records the time and location points (longitude/latitude coordinates) with the press of a watch button, then displays the log data on a map in the smartphone app. Supported mobile phones include iOS 10 or higher and Android 6.0 or higher.

In 2004 South African born explorer Mike Horn completed a two-year, 3-month solo circumnavigation of the Arctic Circle, and in 2006 along with Norwegian explorer Børge Ousland, became the first men to travel without dog or motorised transport to the North Pole during winter, in permanent darkness. Of course, a watch with a Quartz movement would simply freeze, he relied on his PAM92 to navigate in such extreme conditions. Anti magnetism with soft iron inner case, water resistance to 300 meters, capable to resist extreme temperatures down to –70° (whereas the oils used in a normal watch would fail at –30°); the Arktos can also be used as a compass. The Luminor Arktos was released in 2004 (limited 500pcs)
