Relógios Casio apresentam novidades Edifice e G-Shock em Lisboa


O Casio Edifice EQB-600D foi nesta manhã de céu plumbeo uma das vedetas no pequeno-almoço que a marca japonesa realizou no bar panorâmico do Hotel Sheraton, em Lisboa.

Este Edifice é uma das grandes novidades da Casio para 2016, e que já tínhamos visto em Basileia, durante a Baselworld. A estas e outras novidades da feira referimo-nos no Relógios & Canetas online de Abril, que pode ser consultado aqui ou aqui.

O Edifice EQB-600D é um relógio conectado, que dialoga via Bluetooth com outros dispositivos, como smartphones. Ele inclui o conceito Global Time Sync, que a marca desenvolveu e permite acertar automaticamente a hora local através de GPS e sinais de rádio.

O EQB-600D tem um mostrador 3D Globe Dial, onde o globo terrestre é representado a 3 dimensões, havendo assim uma noção mais real das horas em todo o mundo (roda uma vez por dia, tal como a Terra, tornando claro se no segundo fuso horário que queremos consultar é de dia ou de noite).

Da marca:

Casio developed the Accurate Time System, which further extends the time-setting features when linked to a smartphone. This system is incorporated into the CASIO Watch+ smartphone app, which links with the EQB-600D. The system connects to Internet time servers which supply time data, matching the data to a proprietary map database to obtain accurate times by extracting time zone data in the current location and daylight savings data.

The EDIFICE EQB-600D delivers accurate time with innovative features that evoke the unceasing flow of time around the world.

Outra das novidades para este ano, agora na linha G-Shock, é o Frogman GWF-D1000, um relógio de mergulho profissional, equipado com triplos sensores e estante até 200 metros, obedecendo à norma ISO.

Com forma assimétrica (desviado para a esquerda em relação à pulseira e com os botões de função à esquerda, para facilitar o manuseamento debaixo de água, por cima do fato de mergulhador e mesmo com luvas), o novo G-SHOCK mantém a resistência ao choque por que são conhecidos estes relógios.

Os três sensores permitem a leitura de profundidade, temperatura da água e bússola. Pela primeira vez, o profundímetro permite leituras de 10 cm até aos 80 metros. A variação de leitura do termómetro é de 0,1 graus. Quanto à bússola, com escala de variação de um grau, funciona em qualquer posição que o relógio se encontre, já que está equipada com um sistema de auto-compensação horizontal.

Da marca:

The watch comes with an array of pro-grade features including a tide graph that displays high and low tides and a log memory function to track diving activities (dive time, maximum water depth, and lowest water temperature), supplemented by an excessive ascent rate alarm.

The GWF-D1000 also takes a leap forward on the outside with features that enhance durability. While retaining the asymmetric shape of past FROGMAN watches, the GWF-D1000 boasts a crystal made of scratch-resistant sapphire and a wristband reinforced with a carbon fiber insert. The watch features large buttons that are easy to operate even with gloves on.

The back case features a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating and is engraved with a FROGMAN icon featuring a stylized rescue frog bravely diving into the dark seas with light in hand.

Finalmente, o Casio G-Shock GWN-Q1000, da série Gulfmaster, é o primeiro equipado com sensores quad,  que monitorizam constantemente as variações oceânicas. É um relógio usado em missões de busca e salvamento, dando aviso com três horas de antecedência de uma tempestade, graças a uma série de medições de pressão atmosférica, temperatura do ar e da água, marés, correntes submarinas e direcção do vento.

Da marca:

For ease of access, information from the five sensor modes (atmospheric pressure, altitude, temperature, compass bearing, and depth), as well as sudden atmospheric changes and a tide graph showing low and high tide information, are indicated on the inset dial at the 5 o’clock position. A dual coil motor enables a retrograde movement to display the information, for ease of recognition.

Optimized for use in ocean environments, the watch case is made from carbon fiber materials for superior rigidity. The button casings use metal pipes for high durability and enhanced water resistance. Furthermore, the shock absorbent back cover and watchband are made of soft urethane for better comfort on the wrist.
