The latest addition to the G-Shock aviator series is the G-Shock GW-A1000 series which is due for release April and May 2012. The big news on the range topping GW-A1000 is the (expected) use of Casio's all new Smart Access system, the first time this system has been seen on a G-Shock model. The "Smart Access" system drives the three main hands independently thus allowing rapid hand movement and almost seamless switching between functions, further the crown also operates as a button. [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]Previously this system has been seen on the EQW-A1000 Edifice, ProTrek PRX-7000T and Oceanus OCW-T1000 Series. The watch also features Triple G Resist as seen on the G-Shock GW-4000, multiband6, mineral glass crystal and all the normal G-Shock features.
