Accelerating the evolution of tough ness-driven design: A sturdy, high-precision pilot’s watch inspired by the challenges of the supersonic realm

The G-SHOCK MASTER OF G line embodies a passion for delivering performance in extreme conditions. The GRAVITYMASTER in particular has demonstrated ongoing innovation as a pilot’s watch designed to support missions in the sky.

To accelerate the pace of that evolution, the GWR-B3000 takes on the challenge of adapting toughness-oriented design to perform in an all-new domain. Guided by a single development concept — “Supersonic” — the watch draws inspiration from the astonishing performance of jets breaking through the sound barrier. The newly developed movement and tough construction elevate reliability and precision, ensuring dependable performance in the toughest environments.

At the heart of the timepiece is the newly developed TOUGH MVT.2 (Tough Movement 2) equipped with two special features: auto hand home position correction with shock detection, and magnetic field detection. The watch also employs a newly developed dual hollow case structure to deliver enhanced resistance to shock, centrifugal force, and vibration. These aviation-oriented specs are designed to ensure precision timekeeping in the most demanding cockpit situations.

The GRAVITYMASTER is driven by a passion for capturing the essence of the pilot’s watch, offering an instrument panel for the wrist that will never break, never stop, and never fail to keep precise time. Welcome to tireless determination to deliver ultimate toughness. Standing at the forefront of that challenge, the GWR-B3000 delivers the advanced performance it takes to break the toughness barrier and soar far beyond.

TOUGH MVT.2: An all-new pursuit of timekeeping precision

The further improved TOUGH MVT. (Tough Movement) delivers timekeeping with even greater precision.

Two new features have been added: auto hand home position correction with shock detection, and magnetic field detection. Auto hand home position correction with shock detection instantly detects impacts to the watch and corrects any hand misalignment. Accurate time display is maintained even when the watch is subjected to strong impacts in the cockpit. Magnetic field detection temporarily stops hand movement when the sensor detects a strong magnetic field. Once the magnetic field disappears, operation is resumed with accurate timekeeping.

Combining these two detection functions driven by advanced digital technologies with a movement featuring radio control, solar power, and Bluetooth® connectivity, the GWR-B3000 delivers durability and timekeeping precision as a genuine pilot’s watch. The timepiece maximises performance during demanding flight missions in extreme conditions.

An optimal solution for ultimate toughness

Triple G Resist, the GRAVITYMASTER line’s proud symbol, is a structure engineered to withstand three types of gravitational acceleration: shock, centrifugal force, and vibration. It has been reengineered with a brand-new exterior designed to help withstand impacts to each component.

The hollow structure, which has protected the movement from direct impact since the first G-SHOCK, is further strengthened with a dual inner and outer case design. Carbon fibre-reinforced resin delivering both strength and lightness is used for the inner case, while the outer case is constructed of stainless-steel protectors finished with metal injection molding (MIM) and shock absorbers made of resin.

The dual hollow case structure — composed of multiple components with complex shapes — was created using topology optimisation, a form of computer-aided engineering analysis. Extensive simulations were conducted to evaluate three types of stress: impact, centrifugal force, and vibration. Using advanced engineering techniques, each component’s shape was optimised to achieve an exterior design that balances durability with aesthetic appeal.

Reliable readability: An instrument panel on the wrist

To accurately convey the information needed by pilots in the cockpit, which may undergo extreme gravitational acceleration, the GWR-B3000 features a design that gives maximum priority to ensuring readability.

The wide, dimensional face offers a broad viewing angle and features large hands and indexes enabling the time to be read at a glance, even while piloting an aircraft. A newly developed dark black dial, crafted using proprietary precision processing technologies, enhances contrast by accentuating light and shadow. Microfabricated surface textures on the dial reduce light reflection, improving visibility in direct sunlight and other ambient light conditions.

Combined with an in-dial solar system — where the solar-receptive area in the inset dials alone transmits enough light to power the watch — the design achieves a deep, opaque dial colour. This integration of practicality and functional beauty elevates the GRAVITYMASTER line’s aviation style to an even higher level of perfection.

Light, comfortable fit on the wrist

The soft urethane band provides a soft, comfortable feel on the wrist while offering outstanding durability. It features a dual-layer construction with an optimised thickness for a more secure fit and is finished in a two-tone colour scheme on the top side and underside. The band for the GWR-B3000B is available in three colour options, blue, grey, and black, with each colour scheme coordinated with the dial and case for a unified look.

Diverse functionality to support flight missions

The watch features dual-dial world time display, an essential function for aviation, allowing the time for two cities to be viewed simultaneously on the main dial and an inset dial. It also provides direct access to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).

In addition, the flight log function syncs with a smartphone via the dedicated smartphone app. Pressing a button on the watch records the current time and position on a map within the app, providing a useful way to manage departure and arrival times, as well as takeoff and landing locations.

Solar-powered timekeeping with radio control and Bluetooth® connectivity

Smartphone Link and radio-wave time calibration deliver automatically adjusted precision timekeeping. Solar-power charging ensures stable operation of watch functions.
