Casio America, Inc. has introduced the latest additions to its G-SHOCK 2100 lineup, featuring metal-covered G-STEEL watches. These new models blend the rugged durability of G-SHOCK with a streamlined design and modern features, including Smartphone Link and Tough Solar technology. The new models, GBM2100-1A, GBM2100A-1A2, GBM2100A-1A3, and GBM2100B-7A, pay homage to the classic octagonal design of the original G-SHOCK, now enhanced with a touch of color.
The dials of these watches are meticulously finished, adding sophistication to their simple and streamlined design. This combination of tradition and modernity makes these watches not just timepieces but statements of style and functionality.
The octagonal bezel, inspired by the original G-SHOCK, is now available in a gleaming metal finish, providing a sophisticated look while maintaining G-SHOCK’s rugged essence. The stainless-steel bezel and glass fibre-reinforced resin inner case protect the module, ensuring durability. The dial features an oblong grid pattern with transparent printing and a circular hairline finish, enhancing readability and adding a modern touch. Vapor deposition and a phosphorescent finish on the three-dimensional index marks further improve readability in the dark.
These watches are solar-powered and come with Bluetooth connectivity, offering the convenience of Smartphone Link and Tough Solar while retaining the slim profile characteristic of the 2100 line. Key resin components of the case and band are made from bio-based resin, which is produced using renewable organic resources, reducing environmental impact. The high-brightness double LED light, known as the Super Illuminator, ensures readability in low-light conditions.
The new G-SHOCK models cater to those who require resilience in their accessories while appreciating elegance. Suitable for daily wear or special occasions, these watches provide a versatile and reliable option.
The four new timepieces come with several features, including shock resistance, 200M water resistance, Tough Solar power, a double LED light, five daily alarms, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, and world time functionality. The GBM2100-1A, GBM2100A-1A2, and GBM2100A-1A3 are available for $250 each at select retailers, gshock.com, and the G-SHOCK Soho store. The GBM2100B-7A is exclusively available for $270 at gshock.com.
