G-SHOCK teams up with EVANGELION, the iconic anime series with a passionate global following, to mark the 30th anniversary of the original TV broadcast. This special edition was designed by Ikuto Yamashita, the mechanical designer behind the EVANGELION series. For this special collaboration, Yamashita created original artwork that captures the intensity of the series’ immersive world. The GA-110, also used in the first EVANGELION collaboration in 2010, serves as the base model. EVA Unit-01, the central figure of the series, appears throughout the design: its horned headgear on the short band, its face on the bezel, and its right arm gripping the Spear of Longinus — just before the throw — extending from the lower bezel to the long band. Casio’s advanced surface finishing techniques faithfully reproduce Yamashita’s detailed artwork. The watch face includes even more references for fans to appreciate. The inset dial indicator at 9 o’clock is inspired by the 3rd Angel, Sachiel. A bold Y-shaped part on the dial echoes the CAUTION pattern seen throughout the series. Other details include “NEON GENESIS” on the band loop, the NERV logo at the tip of the band, and a 30th anniversary emblem engraved on the case back. Presented in special packaging, this timepiece brings together the cutting-edge toughness of G-SHOCK and the unforgettable style of EVANGELION in an eye-catching collaboration for fans around the world.
