GMA-S2100 Green Accent Series

Published on 8 March 2023

Green accents add a trendy touch to a simple design

Introducing three watches drawing on the popular compact GMA-S2100 with its iconic octagonal form — now featuring on-trend green touches in new original shades. The bezel, band, and face are accented in green, adding a stylish modern flair and making the simple design even easier to add to your wardrobe.

Available Exclusively Online from 10 Mar 2023.

Features

Slim and compact

We’ve downsized the original, larger GA-2100 into a compact form factor that fits on slimmer wrists. The flat face and slim design make the watch look and feel sleek — not to mention comfortable to wear.

Green accent colours
G-B001MVE

We used on-trend green as our concept colour, with the design putting an original spin on the vibrant shade. Joining a monochromatic model all in green are two other models featuring green as an accent colour. All three are constructed with a simple colour scheme.

LCD colour

The LCD on the face also has green accents to coordinate with the colouring of the watch’s exterior. Reverse LCDs feature green displays against a black background, while regular LCDs have black displays on a green background. The harmony of colours on the watch face makes a stylish impression.

Metal-Covered G-B001 Series

Published on 5 Mar 2023

New double-bezel Capsule Tough construction featuring playful material combinations

The DW-001 hit the scene in 1994, featuring the Capsule Tough design concept. Casio now introduces a new evolution of the watch driven by leading-edge technologies, featuring the Carbon Core Guard structure, a metal-clad exterior, and Smartphone Link functionality. On top of all this, the detachable urethane bezel provides a playful touch, offering the choice between two bezels — metal or urethane. A reimagined form of Capsule Tough has arrived, maintaining the design of the original while taking on a fresh new character all its own.

Available Exclusively Online from 7 Mar 2023.

Features

Metal-covered Capsule Tough design employing Carbon Core Guard structure

The original Capsule Tough design, which fully enveloped the case in resin to provide a unique shock resistant structure, was introduced with the DW-001 in 1994. Today, a new update to the Capsule Tough design makes the most of the G-SHOCK leading-edge Carbon Core Guard structure. The bezel features a metal-clad design with stainless steel. Furthermore, the bezel and case back employ a dual construction, with metal components covered with urethane to maintain the colourful look of the DW-001 while realising a fresh new Capsule Tough design. This playful combination of different materials makes for a unique appeal.

Interchangeable bezel and band offer an expanded range of customisation options
G-B001MVE

A translucent bezel and band are included, offering 12 different customisable design combinations. The additional bezel features two-tone moulding in orange and green, and the additional band displays blue gradations. A slide lever makes the parts easily interchangeable.

Double-bezel design offering two different faces to enjoy

The urethane bezel faithfully reproduces the moulded form of the DW-001 with its rounded shapes, punching employed at the 6 o’clock position, and two-tone colour blocks. The metal bezel incorporates slits and is finished with IP and polishing processes. The inclusion of the detachable urethane bezel provides a fun design touch with a choice between faces made of different materials to enjoy.

G-B001MVE

The original colours of the DW-001 are employed for the urethane bezel: yellow paired with grey. Rainbow IP and an all-over mirror finish are applied to the metal bezel.

G-B001MVA

Black and translucent two-tone moulding is employed for the urethane bezel. For the metal bezel, silver IP is applied, and each surface is individually polished in a hairline or mirror finish. A red slash pattern is printed on the band’s base colour of black.

G-B001MVB

The translucent urethane bezel is applied with grey and clear colouration. The metal bezel features gold IP and an all-encompassing mirror finish. Gold vapour deposition is employed for the dial.

Revived face design constructed with separate components

While inheriting the original face design of the DW-001, the dial and inset dial ring are made separately with individual finishing applied to each component. The LCD lights up with a graphic image of blocks that stack up along with the second readout of the time display.

Urethane band inheriting the iconic design of the original

The new watch inherits the iconic band design of the DW-001, including the wing components on the underside that further enhance the fit. The insert parts that show through the decorative openings near the base of the band have been changed from metal mesh to fine resin to expand the range of colour expression.
