Casio announced the release of the new G-1000 series of G-Shock chronograph watches. The watches in the new series feature state-of-the-art chronograph modules powered by five independent motors, and all of the new models have redesigned face rivaling the instrument panels found in sports cars and motorcycles.

The new watches boast enhanced shock resistance, thanks to the composite bezel construction featuring a combination of two different materials: metal and resin. The incorporation of five independent motors gives the user a total of seven hands for indicating a wide variety of vital data, including chronograph measurements, world time display, alarm, and perpetual calendar.
| Model Number | Band | Watch Face Color | Ion Plating on Bezel |
| G-1000D-1ADR | Metal | Black | No |
| G-1000D-9ADR | White | No | |
| G-1000-1ADR | Resin | Black | No |
| G-1000-7ADR | White | No | |
| G-1000H-1ADR | Black | Yes | |
| G-1000H-9ADR | Gold | Yes |
All the watches have a composite structure. There is a beautiful forged stainless steel bezel featuring machined cuts and a polished finish. This is combined with a urethane bezel. The stainless steel bezel takes the force of an impact, while the urethane bezel absorbs the shock. The new lineup comes in six different colored models. Of particular note is the fact that the G-1000H models include an ion plating* finish over the forged stainless steel bezel, which boosts abrasion resistance and overall toughness.
