G-Shock Premium’s latest Aviator: built to withstand 12G

Use the G-Force

Not that we expect you to be manning a fighter plane any time soon, but G-Shock Premium’s latest Aviator watch, the GW 4000D-1 AER — which debuted at the Baselworld Watch Show last week — has been inspired by airborne pursuits.

Incorporating ‘Triple G Resist’ technology and featuring a new polyurethane gel to protect its components, the timepiece — out in April — also has finely balanced hands that maintain precise operation in excess of 12G. Suddenly there is no excuse for not taking that pilot’s licence course.
