G-SHOCK Introduces New Gold Full-Metal Addition To The 2100 Line

Casio America, Inc. announced the launch of the all-gold, full-metal GMB2100GD-9A, the newest addition to the continually evolving 2100 line of timepieces. Taking it back to 1983, the GMB2100GD-9A inherits the legacy of the first-ever G-SHOCK, the DW-5000, by replicating the octagonal bezel and dimpled band design for the full-metal take on the original timepiece.

Delivering style and practical utility, the GMB2100GD-9A is carefully crafted with gold IP. To highlight the exquisite gleam of the metal, from the bezel and band down to the side button and screws, a circular hairline finish is applied to the bezel's top surface, while angled surfaces are polished to a mirror finish. For added variation, a lengthwise hairline finish is applied to the raised areas of the case sides which complement the watch's form.

The timepiece's stainless-steel bezel undergoes a repeated and meticulous process of forging, cutting, and polishing to create its streamlined, minimal, and sleek design. Even portions that lie out of site receive intense focus to ensure an even higher precision fit with the case, including detailed finishing of its back surface.

Exuding solidity, the new timepiece captures the essence of the very first G-SHOCK with its screw-lock construction, dimpled portions on the band now reproduced in metal, and a full-metal, shock-resistant structure that protects the module from any impact when dropped. High-density mounting keeps the analog-digital combination module slim, while also providing advanced functions, such as Bluetooth® connectivity for enhanced accuracy and reliability, in a compact profile and exceptionally comfortable fit.

The new timepiece also comes equipped with G-SHOCK technology including:

  • Shock Resistance
  • 200M Water Resistance
  • Tough Solar Power
  • Double LED (Super Illuminator) Light
  • Countdown timer (60 Min.)
  • 1/100s Stopwatch (24 Hr)
  • World Time (38 TZ + UTC)
  • 5 Daily Alarms
  • Hand Shift Feature
  • Month/Day Display Swapping
  • Multi-lingual day-of-week display (Eng, Esp, Fra, Deu, Ita, and Pyc)
