G-SHOCK Sand Land – Sands of Time

Nothing is permanent in the sands of time. For Pang Sern Yong, beach artist, time is a test of endurance, a game of balance in the face of the harshest of physical and mental conditions to attain the ultimate goal. He pushes the limits and tests the boundaries of endurance, teasing time as he etches his art into the sands, before the tides wipe it away.

Nature is every artist’s muse and just like Pang, Casio drew its inspiration from sands and soils, to create the Casio G-SHOCK Sand Land Series. Built to endure the harshness of nature, yet bask in its gentle allure, the watch is an ode to the earthy hues of sand and soil from around the world. Created for the adventurous, this Casio G-SHOCK series sports mineral glass, shock resistant and 200-meter water-resistant.

Never yielding in its efforts, Casio’s G-SHOCK watches continue its symbol of toughness and tenacity, celebrating innovation and craftsmanship in watchmaking giving the wearer a sense of oneness with nature. Fitted with distinctly moulded bezels and resin bands the Casio G-SHOCK GW-B5600, GA-2200 and the GX-56 series feature a dual-toned, textured finish the result of a mix of two different earthy hues to create an exceptional texture that reimagines the colours of sand and soil from around the world. Exclusively crafted, no two watches bear the same hues.

Keeping to G-SHOCK’s focus on colour, material and finish, the Sand Land Series’ earthy tones are casual and versatile, its durable resin suitable for the outdoorsy and sporty individual, while the sand-down texture pairs it effortlessly with your everyday street fashion.

Providing ultimate comfort on the wrist, the base models in this G-SHOCK series are the square case GW-B5600 and the thin and sporty analogue-digital GA-2200 and the GX-56. Casio’s latest innovative creation is equipped with a radio wave reception function, Bluetooth communication function, and Tough Solar.

Casio to Release G-SHOCK Collaboration Models with the TV documentary series Matchday: Inside FC Barcelona

TOKYO, December 15, 2021 — Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today the latest additions to its G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches. The GBD-H1000BAR and GBD-100BAR are collaboration models celebrating Matchday: Inside FC Barcelona, a documentary featuring the inner world of the famed Spanish football club.

The base models for the two new watches are the GBD-H1000 and GBD-100, both from the G-SQUAD line. The new models employ the blue and garnet team colors of FC Barcelona. The bands, designed to evoke past and present team uniforms, are imprinted with the club motto, “Més que un club” (“More than a club”) in the local Catalan language. The GBD-H1000BAR features a metal bezel in bright gold ion plating that shines like a winners’ trophy cup, while the band loop on both watches features the four red stripes of the Catalan flag. Specially designed packaging also in FC Barcelona team colors is a final touch worthy of these singular timepieces.

Both new watches are equipped with an accelerometer to count steps and track distances. The GBD-H1000BAR also comes with a heart rate monitor and GPS tracking. Both new models also offer mobile link functions which, when paired with a dedicated smartphone app, support daily health management by allowing users to check life logs with data on step counts and calories burned, activity logs, and more. The Memory in Pixel (MIP) LCD display for exceptional visibility and the soft urethane band for outstanding ventilation and flexibility deliver comfort in every situation, from everyday use to hard workouts.

Matchday: Inside FC Barcelona

An eight-episode documentary series focusing on the 2018–2019 season of one the world’s most adored football clubs. From the thrill of victory to the agony of defeat, the series offers insight into the players, philosophy and culture of FC Barcelona.

G-Shock MRG-B2000BS-3A Hana-Basara with Deep Green DLC is inspired by the armor of Basara samurai commanders

G-Shock announced the G-Shock MRG-B2000BS-3A Hana-Basara Edition. “Hana-Basara” refers to the Basara commander spirit, and “Basara” was a term of respect for samurai commanders who shattered conventions with a bold and lavish aesthetic.

The bezel is made of the Cobarion metal alloy, which is about four times harder than pure titanium, and the bezel is cut and polished by artisan Komatsu Kazuhito. The mirror-surface facet cuts give the bezel an angular look that is very distinct from other MR-G models. The case and band are made of DAT55G titanium alloy, which is three times harder than pure titanium. The bezel and band also have a traditional “kurogane-iro” hue that is the result of a newly developed dark green diamond-like carbon (DLC) finish, which is also applied to the case and back. The name refers to the deep shade of green that appears when iron is heated, with the color evoking the iron-clad helmets and armor of Basara samurai commanders. The case also has a brown AIP (arc ion plating) and an engraved side plate to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the MR-G series.

The dial features a “Kusari Katabira” (chain mail) woven pattern and a folding fan pattern on the outer dial. The dial’s green, red, gold and black colors are inspired by the Hana-Basara armor.

Update: G-Shock U.K. has the MRG-B2000BS-3ADR (£6,729) listed as coming soon, which will also be released in Europe. The MRG-B2000BS-3A was announced for a June 2021 release in Asia. G-Shock U.S. is releasing the MRGB2000BS3A with a list price of $8,000.
