FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Dover, NJ, July 29, 2016 Casio G-SHOCK has enlisted the help of sixth generation lobsterman and former Marine Mike Burns to demonstrate the durability and utility of the Master of G GULFMASTER (GN1000) in a new video that debuts today at www.gshock.com. The video showcases a day in the life of Burns and how GN1000 features like Twin Sensor technology, including Compass and Thermometer, plus 200M Water Resistance, are crucial to working in the extreme conditions he encounters at sea.
As a lobster fisherman, Burns has a demanding schedule that’s reinforced by more than 20 years of military service in the Marine Corps - he rises early every morning and returns home long after the sun has set. In the video, cameras follow Burns throughout his grueling daily routine catching lobsters off the coast of Maine, highlighting the tools he uses to persevere. The Master of G GULFMASTER is an essential part of his toolkit, with features like 200M Water Resistance for grabbing lobsters out of buckets of hot and icy water, Compass to orient the ship, and Tide Indicator to optimize timing for collection, all of which help him ensure a successful harvest.
The full video highlighting Mike Burn’s experiences at work on the water with his Master of G GULFMASTER (GN1000) is currently viewable at www.gshock.com; or watch it here.
The GN1000 timepiece comes equipped with Shock Resistance, 200M Water Resistance, World Time (29 Time Zones / 29 Cities + UTC), 4 Daily Alarms, 1 Snooze Alarm, 1/100th Sec. Stopwatch (60Mn), Countdown Timer (60Mn), 12/24 Hr Formats, Mute Function and a Case Size of 53.4mm. Special features include Twin Sensor technology, Digital Compass and Thermometer, as well as Tide Indicator and Moon Data. All this technology coupled with Neo-Brite hands/markers and full auto super illuminator LED light make this timepiece a true seafaring tool for easy reading and clear direction to those on their voyages.
The Master of G GULFMASTER (GN1000) retails for $300 and is available for purchase at G-SHOCK NYC Soho, select department stores, fashion boutiques, key jewelers, and online at www.gshock.com.
