In 2011 Sunpocket was re-launched. Building on its legacy of innovative and distinctive sunglasses, Sunpocket established itself as a brand known for its style, authenticity and quality.

Casio G-Shock GW-A1000RAF-1AER

Casio’s G-Shock GW-A1000RAF-1AER aviator watch features Tough Solar charging and Multiband 6 atomic sync.

I WANT!

"RAF" version (GW-A1000RAF-1AER)

 "Regular" version (GW-A1000-1AJF)

The new GW-A1000 is the first G-SHOCK to come with “Smart Access,” which makes operating the watch’s functions smoother than ever with an electronic crown switch and five-motor drive. It offers a wide range of functions that are especially practical for pilots.

With the intuitive method of turning the crown switch, the wearer can select the time in different cities around the world. In addition, with just a simple press of the switch, the wearer can switch between home time and world time, or instantly display Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Features like these ensure the time information pilots need is only a touch away. Since the hour, minute, and second hands are driven by separate motors, the hands respond quickly when the wearer resets or starts the stopwatch, or switches between different time displays.

At the same time, the “Smart Access” system enables convenient, simple operation of the watch’s wide range of features, including a “fly-back” function that allows the stopwatch to be instantly reset and start during operation as well as instant temperature display at the press of a button.

The GW-A1000 also packs new toughness technology into a new construction called TRIPLE G RESIST which consists of new vibration resistance in addition to resistance to shock and centrifugal force. In order to resist the strong vibrations that occur while handling aircraft controls, a gel-like material has been installed around and behind the watch module to absorb shock. The crown switch, which is the main “Smart Access” control, features a quick-lock for reliable locking and release. The bezel also acts as a guard to help resist shock. 

The watchface is designed to look like a cockpit instrument. By incorporating the outer bezel into the case, a broader face has been realized, while still retaining the same case size as previous G-SHOCK Gravity Defier models. Also, there is a luminescent coating on the distinctive extra-wide hands and on the numerals, making the watch easy to read at night. On the back, the TRIPLE G RESIST logo has been engraved on hammered metal, for a solid look.

The watch is also solar-powered and radio-controlled, with automatic time calibration using standard radio waves from six transmitters around the world.

Blessed with a warm reception worldwide upon its retail launch in 2011, The House of Marley enters the Filipino market with an exciting new collection of earbuds and headphones at a reasonable price allowing all music lovers to better enjoy the sounds that makes them move.

“Filipinos are known all over the world for their love for music and laidback happy lifestyle. That’s why we didn’t think twice about bringing Marley to Manila,” said Michael Dypico the Chairman and CEO of JERM Marketing Inc., the exclusive distributor of The House of Marley in the Philippines. Mr. Dypico goes on to express, “It’s the perfect union... a country of music lovers and a brand that gives superior sound quality products, which are also earth friendly and gives back to charity. I was inspired by the brands vision and decided I can help spread Bob Marley’s principle to my own country. Being the exclusive distributor of The House of Marley in the Philippines is also one way of helping the company make more profits, which will in turn, give back to ILove.org.”
