The famous driver Zhang Zhendong's name is well-known among the car fans. Not only because Zhang Zhendong, who is "tough" often wins awards in various competitions, but also because he often drives a supercar of different models to create lap records in Zhejiang International Racing Circuit - the latest Zhejiang Racing lap list Zhang Zhendong Driving different models of lap records of more than 30 , which can be said to have made an immeasurable contribution to the development of Chinese automobile culture.
Speaking of which, I believe many car fans know all the models that Zhang Zhendong created lap times in Zhejiang International Racing, such as the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup, McLaren 600LT, Lamborghini Aventador SVJ and other models, which are all regarded as Dream Car by car fans.
These supercars that have created lap records on the track together with Zhang Zhendong, and that is, the large-scale application of carbon fiber to achieve the demand for lightweight and high strength. Zhang Zhendong created a lap record of 1:34.843 at Zhejiang International Racing, as the fourth member of the " long-tail " family, is an ultimate supercar built on lightweight carbon fiber monomer chassis , optimized for power, lightweight and aerodynamics.
In order to improve the lap time of 0.1 seconds, supercars often focus on weight per gram. In fact, it is not only the bodies of these supercars that use carbon fiber to achieve light weight, but even the watch on Zhang Zhendong's wrist uses carbon fiber material .
The ultimate watch: GWG-2000
Zhang Zhendong's watch on his wrist actually has a lot of origin - Casio G-SHOCK Big Clay King Series GWG-2000. In 2015, the famous "Land of the Savage" MUDMASTER product of Casio was born offline, which is the model GWG-1000, which is what players often call Big Clay King - this is a professional watch that required it to work normally under extreme conditions of piles of rubble, soil and sand at the beginning of the design.
GWG-2000 large diameter dial uses depth-sensing design , providing plenty of space for large-size scales. The mode indicator at the 9 o'clock position is equipped with an arrow-shaped pointer that gives a clearer field of view from a low angle when tilted. The bezels at 12 and 6 o'clock are made of with forged carbon fiber , which is a composite material commonly used in the manufacturing process of supercars such as the aircraft fuselage and McLaren , Lamborghini . Carbon fiber reinforced resin is forged in under high temperature and high pressure, forming parts with light texture and strong appearance without losing complex appearance. The design details of
GWG-2000 were inspired by professional gears, including incorporating fine textures on strap , using checked surface textures on the crown , and using ribbed shields to protect the front button. The newly developed anti-mud button combines high-quality stainless steel button pipe fittings and silicone cushioning material to significantly improve toughness and durability . In addition, the appearance design of GWG-2000 is both practical and beautiful, and there are three powerful outdoor color options available.
Moreover, in order to avoid the disadvantage that ordinary watches are prone to damage under intense vibration, this "Land Master" Casio G-SHOCK Big Mud King Series GWG-2000 adopts professional earthquake-resistant structure to adapt to the use environment of professionals who operate large equipment, such as rescue personnel who need to use electric cutting machines, crushers and drills, outdoor exploration personnel, etc.
In fact, we have seen many working scenes of fire rescue personnel, including extinguishing forest fires in the mountains and forests, saving the elderly in the mud pond, and cleaning up the mud.
Of course, as a racer, Zhang Zhendong's working environment is also very complex. The above mentioned environments such as violent vibration and mud and sand are scenes that racers cannot avoid (there are many cases when they raced out of the track for various reasons when they raced . The P room full of various tools and parts, oil is a place where every driver stays longer than their own room). The Casio G-SHOCK Big Mud King Series GWG-2000 can meet the needs of Zhang Zhendong as a driver in multiple dimensions such as mudproof, shockproof, triple sensor, radio wave solar and other dimensions.
Like the McLaren 600LT and Lamborghini Aventador SVJ that Zhang Zhendong drove while he was washing lap, Zhang Zhendong's watch also uses carbon fiber material. Thanks to the toughness, lightness and extraordinary durability of carbon fiber reinforced resin, the case size of this GWG-2000 is 1.9 mm smaller than the previous model (GWG-1000) , and the weight is only 106g, which reminds people of the efforts made by the supercars Zhang Zhendong drove when he was washing lap to reduce weight and improve aerodynamic performance.
For example, the McLaren 600LT that is popular among car fans, which costs 2.998 million yuan, has been equipped with all lightweight options, and its weight is 95.98kg than the supercar 570S Coupe - that is, Zhang Zhendong's weight is one and a half lighter. The GWG-2000 has a 1.9 mm size reduction in the case and 106 grams of weight, making it more convenient for Zhang Zhendong to use it for daily use as a driver.
and the Land Cruiser's Da Ni Wang
Of course, there is no need to specifically cooperate with Zhang Zhendong. Many car friends are actually familiar with the Casio Da Ni Wang series watches. After all, various co-branded models of Casio in the car circle have emerged one after another. For example, Casio cooperated with Toyota to develop a limited edition G-SHOCK digital shock-proof watch - MASTER OF G - MUDMASTER GWG-2000TLC-1A, which is probably the most sturdy digital watch to date. This big mud king is jointly established with Toyota's famous off-road vehicle Land Cruiser land cruiser . The land cruiser (that is, Land Cruiser ) has long been well-known among car fans for its reputation of "reliability, durability and outdoor". Like racer Zhang Zhendong, the product concept of the land cruiser coincides with the essential spirit of "never-suffering" MUDMASTER.
This Land Cruiser joint version of the big mud king strap is printed with a splashed mud pattern, reflecting the appearance of Toyota car after speeding in the desert. At the same time, laser engraving is used on the bezel and buckle, which further highlights the pattern. The TLC logo is also printed on the strap and back engraving.
Coincidentally, before seeing this land cruiser joint model, we found that in the video of Zhang Zhendong and Casio, there was actually an Mercedes-Benz G. At that time, the picture of this classic off-road vehicle flying past the water appeared in our minds. Because, if you don’t have to the water, it will not be able to reflect how “wild” it is for Zhang Zhendong’s with 200 meters of waterproof rating GWG-2000.
written at the end
From the perspective of car fans, the Casio G-SHOCK Big Mud King Series GWG-2000 is indeed a watch with strong strength and a very design sense - this watch always reminds people of super sports cars such as McLaren, Lamborghini, and Porsche that use a lot of carbon fiber to pursue lightweight and ultimate performance.
Of course, its sturdy, shockproof, mud-proof, 200-meter waterproof and other outdoor performances can easily make people associate it with Toyota's land cruiser (Land Cruiser) and the big G of Mercedes-Benz .
In fact, the spirit of " tougher than " represented by the Casio G-SHOCK Big Clay King series GWG-2000 is the spirit of " and the appearance design of that combines practicality and aesthetics, also demonstrates everywhere that "big clay King" is not only suitable for going to the track and outdoors, but also suitable for appearing in various complex occasions, whether solemn formal occasions, or outings and other life scenes. GWG-2000 can all highlight the owner (such as racer Zhang Zhendong) "Lu Zhishen"'s taste and style .
