The collaboration between Casio and Toyota, in particular with Team Land Cruiser Toyota Auto Body (TLC), led to the creation of the MUDMAN GW-9500, a watch designed not only for the extreme conditions of the world's toughest rally, the Dakar Rally, but also for all other outdoor adventures. It embodies the relentless spirit of challenge and performance that characterises both the TLC team and the G-SHOCK collection. Thanks to its advanced Carbon Core Guard structure, the watch reliably resists dust and mud - ideal for use in the most demanding environments. The duplex LCD with separate compass display improves readability and functionality, which is invaluable in emergency situations when clear navigation is crucial. The design of the sand-coloured strap with a black pattern reminiscent of tracks in the desert sand captures the spirit of desert racing. The stainless steel components of the bezel, an innovation for the GW-9500 model, are given additional resistance by an IP Black treatment. However, the watch not only shines with its robustness, but also with indispensable functions for outdoor use: digital compass, altimeter, barometer and thermometer provide valuable information about the environmental conditions. Complemented by world time, sunrise and sunset times, stopwatch and timer, the GW-9500 is an indispensable companion for adventurers. Equipped with water resistance up to 20 bar and a Tough Solar function, the GW-9500 is ready for any adventure. The radio-controlled time calibration ensures maximum precision, a critical aspect in extreme conditions. The homage to the TLC team is reflected in the team colours and logo on the strap and case back, a tribute to the team's special collaboration and success with the Land Cruiser at the Dakar Rally.
