Casio G-Shock Watch Giveaway by Doug Black

Casio's G-Shock line has been the gold standard in durable digital watches since its inception in 1983. To celebrate their 25th anniversary, we're giving away three versions of the G-Shock's latest incarnation, the eye-catching G5500C (pictured).

The limited edition G5500C Vivid Colors watch comes in three distinctive combinations: red on red, white on gold and green on green. It features Tough Solar Power Technology, which charges the high capacity battery using a super sensitive solar panel that surrounds the display. It also auto-illuminates when the watch is angled toward the face and available light is below a certain threshold. And of course, you can count on classic G-Shock perks like shock resistance, 200-meter water resistance, 48-city time options, 1/100-second stopwatch and battery level indicator.

The G5500C retails for $120 and is available from the G-Shock online store, but the first three people to correctly respond to the following trivia question will get one of the three color options for free. Question: What was the color of the first non-black G-Shock watch? If you think you can accurately field this one, follow the contact link at the bottom of the page, select "G Shock Giveaway" from the pull-down menu and send us your name, address and answer. We'll pick the first three who get it right. The contest ends this Tuesday, 22 April 2008, 11:59pm EST. Good luck!

Harry Winston Rare Timepieces x Frédéric Opus 8
In this era of mechanical one-upmanship, the Opus 8 from Harry Winston Rare Timepieces shone at Baselworld 2008. Inspired by early electronic LED watches of the 1970s (like the first Hamilton Pulsar), creator Frédéric Garinaud (of Renaud & Papi) and CSH developed the Opus 8 with a new twist on mechanical-digital watches. Pulling the side-lever down activates mechanical pixels to rise up from the...
De Grisogono Meccanico dG
Contrary to its appearance, the Meccanico dG has no digital components. Below the more conventional analog portion of the two-timezone watch is a numerical display driven by the intricate interplay of 651 strictly mechanical components. Numbers are formed by the motion of 23 cams, which are connected to gears and a synchronization system. To prove it, the watch's back features a transparent dial plate...
