Casio has announced a special edition G-Shock Mudmaster watch inspired by the Toyota Auto Body Team Land Cruiser.

The Casio G-Shock GWG-2000TLC-1AER has a design theme styled around the veteran of the Dakar Rally race, with forged carbon bezel components and a carbon core guard structure to keep it light, yet able to withstand mud and dust.

The band features a pattern evoking the splatters caused by mud and sand, while there is the Toyota Land Cruiser logo laser engraved on the ion-plated stainless steel rear.

Features found on the watch itself include a built-in compass, altimeter, barometer and thermometer - ideal for racing across the desert.

The G-Shock Toyota Land Cruiser edition Mudmaster is available now, priced at £779 in the UK.

Other G-Shock Mudmaster designs are also available on the G-Shock website, with multiple colours and themes but the same rugged and protected build-quality.
