TOKYO, May 15 2006— CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD., today
announced the release of a new product in its shock-resistant
G-SHOCK series — the Limited Edition M:i:III G-SHOCK.
This exclusive new watch commemorates the release of the
Hollywood blockbuster Mission: Impossible III, featuring
the tough action hero, Ethan Hunt.
CASIO’s G-SHOCK watches are built on a rock-solid,
shock-resistant base, and they continue to push the envelope
in performance, functionality, design, materials and radical
reliability. Their distinctive rugged look and intrepid
styling — both products of CASIO’s relentless
pursuit of performance — have made G-SHOCK watches
a hit with young people all around the world.
M:i:III is the third film in the “Mission Impossible”series,
which was launched ten years ago with what was then a completely
new spy movie, the first Mission: Impossible, or M:i. Following
the original movie in 1996 and M:i:II in 2000, the much-anticipated
latest episode, M:i:III, is said by many to be the best
in the series. CASIO’s shock-resistant G-SHOCK watches
are a long-standing part of the Mission: Impossible story.
The film’s unbeatable action hero, Ethan Hunt, wore a
G-SHOCK in both M:i and M:i:II. It seems that Hunt and G-SHOCK
have enhanced each other’s reputation for toughness.
Once again in M:i:III, which is now showing at theaters
across the country, Ethan Hunt wears a G-SHOCK. The Limited
Edition M:i:III G-SHOCK is being specially produced for
the occasion, in commemoration of the release of M:i:III.
Throughout the movie, Ethan Hunt wears the solar-powered
G-SHOCK model MTG-910. The limited-edition watch, based
on that model, has “M:i:III” inscribed on the
back face. It also comes in highly original packaging featuring
an “M:i:III” design. |
