Sophisticated Profile with Elegant Curved Lines,
Just 9.4mm Deep
OCW-S5000E
|
Casio
Computer Co., Ltd., announced today the latest additions to its OCEANUS line of
watches, which are designed to capture the essence of “Elegance and Technology.”
The new OCEANUS Manta is the thinnest-ever OCEANUS and features an
aesthetically delightful, sophisticated profile. Two models will be released,
the limited edition OCW-S5000S, with just 150 watches to be sold worldwide, and
the S5000E.
Both the
OCW-S5000S and OCW -S5000E are thinner than any previous OCEANUS watches. Casio
achieved the slim design by reducing the thickness and size of the components,
shaving size in increments as small as 1/100th of a millimetre, and by using
high-density mounting to place all the components on one side of the circuit
board rather than on both sides as in previous models. The result is a thin
profile just 9.4 mm deep, 2.3 mm thinner than the existing model.
The bezel
on the new watches is multi-dimensionally cut to show 16 facets, yielding a
distinctive design worthy of an OCEANUS. The watches also sport a
sophisticated, new profile which, in silhouette, reveals curving lines flowing
from the case to the band.
The new
models receive radio wave time-calibration signals, and they also connect to a
smartphone via Bluetooth®, to ensure accurate time. When paired with a
smartphone, the user can easily and intuitively set the world time to any of
over 300 cities. The watches also automatically switch between time zones and
adjust for daylight savings time.

■ OCW-S5000S
— OCEANUS 15th Anniversary Model (limited edition of 150 watches worldwide)
This special model boasts inset dials
crafted of mother-of-pearl, finished in blue while still preserving its natural
texture. It also employs a sapphire crystal outer ring on the dial, cut to show
24 facets and treated with a vapour deposition finish in a gradation from blue to
light blue. The dial also has a vapour deposition finish that enhances both
colour and texture, elegantly presenting the blue brand colour. The titanium
case and band feature a new Blue-AIP® (Arc Ion Plating) treatment that offers
enhanced wear resistance.
■ OCW-S5000E
The
OCW-S5000E features a deep black bezel treated with a diamond -like carbon
(DLC) finish that increases hardness. The inset dials have a vapour deposition
finish in the blue brand colour. The outer ring on each inset dial is finished
in a brilliant new colour using sputtering technology to accentuate the
sophisticated look of the watch.
