Move over, standard timepieces – Casio is bringing a wave of luminous innovation to Europe with the launch of its highly anticipated G-Shock GA-700HDS-7A, part of the captivating Hidden Glow Vol. 2 collection. These aren't your average tough watches; they're designed to reveal a stunning secret after dark.
Inspired by the mesmerizing depths of the ocean, the GA-700HDS-7A boasts a primarily sleek, pearlescent white resin case and band. But the true magic happens when the lights go down. Casio's advanced "Hidden Glow" technology means the watch face appears classic and clean in daylight. However, darkness activates a vibrant, multi-coloured luminescence across the hour markers, hands, and even the bold indices on the rotating bezel, creating a dramatic underwater-inspired light show on your wrist.

200M Water Resistance: Ready for the pool, ocean, or any downpour.
Double LED Light: Super Illuminator backlight plus a unique high-brightness double LED for the dial, ensuring clarity in any light.
- World Time: 48 cities + UTC, perfect for travellers.
