G-SHOCK has revealed a new limited-edition sapphire crystal watch, priced at £67,000, as the final piece in its eight-year Blue Rose Project. The announcement marks the culmination of a project that began in 2016, aiming to push the boundaries of watchmaking technology and design.
Blue Rose Project Reaches Its Conclusion
The Blue Rose Project was initiated by G-SHOCK in 2016 with the goal of developing a fully transparent sapphire crystal watch. Over the past eight years, the project has focused on refining the manufacturing process for sapphire cases and exploring advanced design techniques. The newly unveiled model is the result of these efforts, featuring a case and bracelet crafted entirely from sapphire crystal.
Details of the Limited-Edition Model
The new watch, which is limited to just three pieces worldwide, features a transparent case and bracelet, showcasing the intricate inner workings of the timepiece. The model is powered by G-SHOCK’s Tough Solar technology and includes Multi-Band 6 radio-controlled timekeeping. Each watch is individually numbered and comes with a special presentation box.
Technical Innovations and Features
The sapphire crystal used in the watch is known for its exceptional hardness and scratch resistance. G-SHOCK reports that the manufacturing process for the case and bracelet required years of research and development to achieve the desired clarity and durability. The watch also includes shock resistance and water resistance, maintaining the brand’s reputation for robust performance.
Commemorative Release and Availability
According to G-SHOCK, the £67,000 price tag reflects both the rarity of the materials and the complexity of the manufacturing process. The three watches will be available to purchase through select G-SHOCK retailers. The Blue Rose Project’s conclusion is marked by this release, which the company describes as a celebration of innovation and craftsmanship.
