Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The New Full Metal G-Shock Models are Rugged but Elegant

— October 23, 2024 — Tech
Casio America, Inc. has just announced the latest addition to its 'Full Metal G-SHOCK' line with the launch of the 'GMCB2100,' its first-ever 3-hand analog chronograph. This innovative timepiece brings together 'G-SHOCK's' renowned toughness and cutting-edge design, offering a sophisticated, modern look without compromising on durability.

The collection introduces two models, the 'GMCB2100D-1A' and the 'GMCB2100AD-2A,' both featuring a polished mirror finish and a refined 6-9-12 multi-hand inset dial layout. The light blue vapor deposition treatment on the GMCB2100AD adds a modern flair to its sleek appearance.

Built with a stainless steel bezel, case, and bracelet, the watch maintains G-SHOCK's signature shock resistance and 200-meter water resistance, making it both stylish and resilient. The timepiece also boasts advanced features such as solar power, Smartphone Link, dual time, and an LED Super Illuminator light, combining functionality with elegance.

Available on October 25, 2024, at select jewelers for $800, the GMCB2100 sets a new standard for accessible luxury watches that merge tradition and innovation.
