The new model belongs to the Master of G series and combines Casio's standard durability with a Magma Gold colorway.
It also uses bio-based materials for the case.

The watch features a high-precision forged metal bezel with multi-shade gold ion-plating. Red and orange accents appear on the hands and indexes.
Casio employs garal color molding for the band, mixing different colored resins to create a marbled pattern.

Bluetooth connectivity allows the watch to link with iOS and Android smartphones through the Casio Watches app.
This enables automatic time adjustment, mission logging, and a Location Indicator feature.
The Location Indicator uses the watch's hand at the 3 o'clock position to physically point toward a destination set in the app.
This serves as a navigation tool in low-visibility environments.
