Casio Europe was the first official G-Shock site to add the upcoming G-Shock Mudmaster GG-1000 to its lineup.
The GG-1000 is an all-new analog-digital G-Shock design for 2016.
The model numbers are
GG-1000-1A (black band),
GG-1000-1A3 (army green band), and
GG-1000-1A5 (desert tan khaki band).
G-Shock Japan announced the GG-1000 series for an April 2016 release with the model numbers GG-1000-1AJF, GG-1000-1A3JF, and GG-1000-1A5JF.
Update: Casio USA announced a May release for the green GG1000-1A3 and desert tan GG1000-1A5 with a list price of $320.
The Mudmaster GG-1000 is a smaller version of the Mudmaster GWG-1000 with less features in the same way the Gulfmaster GN-1000 is a reduced version of the Gulfmaster GWN-1000.
The GG-1000 is a battery-powered watch (not Tough Solar) with a Twin Sensor (compass and thermometer).
The bezel has a similar design as the GWG-1000 but does not have a front-facing backlight button.
The face has two LCD display areas and a prominent mode indicator dial.
Like the GWG-1000 the GG-1000 is resistant to mud and dust.
Unlike the GWG-1000’s sapphire crystal, the GG-1000 has a mineral glass display.
Other features include shock resistance, 200-meter water resistance, super auto LED light, neo-brite luminous hands, world time, 1/100 second stopwatch, countdown timer, 5 daily alarms with snooze feature, button tone on/off, automatic calendar, 12/24 hour timekeeping, and 2-year battery life.
Measurements are 56.2 x 55.3 x 17.1 mm and the weight is 92 grams. That is slightly smaller and lighter than the original GWG-1000 dimensions and weight of 59.5 × 56.1 × 18 mm and 119 grams.
The Mudmaster GG-1000 line will be released in April 2016 starting in Japan. The retail list price is ¥37,000 JPY.
