Casio even put shock resistant features in the design to further toughen the watch. The bezel is actually comprised of a 2-piece shock resistant structure that further blunts external shocks. First the internal bezel is crafted from urethane that absorbs and reduces shocks to the timekeeping mechanism. Then the outer bezel is forged with stainless steel that is known for its hardness and adds to the watch protection. What’s more is that the watch band is made for strength with a very striking convex urethane and stainless steel links band.
Nancy’s Notes: Powerful, leading edge features and a smart look are the reasons I like this watch. The shock resistant technology is a fantastic feature. When flying in IMC, Instrument Meteorological Conditions, (in layman’s terms the weather is poor), it can get pretty choppy in the air. Under these conditions it is not unusual to experience moderate to severe turbulence particularly when a pilot is descending through the clouds making an instrument approach to land. Having a watch that can easily handle a possible impact or jolt and still keep accurate time gives a pilot one less thing to be concerned about in less than desirable flying conditions.
Wow, has this watch got style. Who says a watch full of geeky features can’t be attractive? The contrast of stainless steel with black resin makes this one good-looking watch! A powerful pilot watch with such great style that it can be worn to business meetings is what I like. Below is a listing of some of the features that make this such a desirable pilot watch for both pre-flight preparation and in-flight operation.
