Casio G-Shock has announced the expansion of its Black Out Series with the addition of two new watches, the GA100BBN-1A and DW5600BB-1. Now comprised of six total watches, the Black Out Series offers a stealth look and features designed with military and tactical persons in mind. Both watches are designed to offer absolute toughness alongside rugged capabilities for any situation.

The GA100BBN-1A is offered in monotone black to fit seamlessly with tactical gear. The watch also features a CORDURA nylon fabric band – a first for the Black Out Series – that provides extremely high resistance to stretching, wear, and tearing. Additional features include magnetic resistance, auto LED light, world time, four daily alarms, and a speed indicator.

The DW5600BB-1 features G-Shock's iconic square case with an easy-to-read digital display for quick reference during high-stress situations. The watch also includes an EL backlight, multi-function alarm, and flash alert.

Both watches feature G-Shock's standard technologies designed to stand up in rigorous work environments, including shock resistance and 200M water resistance. Additional features include countdown timer, and stopwatch. The DW5600BB-1 will retail for $99 USD, while the GA100BBN-1A will retail for $120 USD. Both models will be available beginning February 2017 and will be sold at the G-Shock NYC SoHo store, select retailers, and www.gshock.com.
