FACETASM Collaboration Model

Published on 9 June 2023

From G-SHOCK, the tough watch that has continued to evolve in a relentless pursuit of strength since 1983, comes a collaboration model with FACETASM, an up-and-coming brand from Japan.

The base model is the three LCD sub-dial DW-5900. Based on the coloring of the DW-5900E-1, which was the first watch that FACETASM designer Hiromichi Ochiai ever purchased when it became a hit in Japan in the 1990s as a re-import, this model has been updated in the FACETASM style. Smoke blue, a special color for the FACETASM brand, is used for the face, and the semi-transparent material of the face creates a new look. Hiromichi Ochiai’s handwritten font was adopted for the functional description of this watch, which embodies his attention to detail and worldview.

This collaboration with a highly-rated street fashion brand like FACETASM results in a simple design that never goes out of style.

FACETASM

The FACETASM name of this brand was coined from the word “facet.” This name expresses the idea that everything cannot be observed from the front, but facts change when viewed from a different angle. FACETASM always strives to have new facets and to create products that make people feel that fashion is fun.

Full Metal GM-B2100GD – A fresh new look with the gleam of gold

A fresh new look with the gleam of gold

The iconic octagonal shape of the original G-SHOCK now delivered in a full-metal form. Set off with gleaming gold IP,
the slim case offers an exceptionally comfortable fit.
Adorn your wrist with neo-retro flair, a look of classic elegance amid gorgeous, glittering gold.

FEATURE 1

Gold IP to highlight the exquisite gleam of the metal

Gold IP is applied to key stainless-steel components, from the bezel and band down to the side buttons and screws. The bezel features a circular hairline finish applied to its top surface and lengthwise hairline finishes applied to the raised areas on its sides to add variation to the watch’s finish and complement its form.

FEATURE 2

Iconic design that stays true to its roots

The watch design captures the essence of the original G-SHOCK vision in a range of ways, from the octagonal form to the shape of the sides. The iconic dimpled portions on the band are reproduced in metal, with separate hairline and mirror finishes applied to enhance the texture of the material. The case back features a screw-lock construction that exudes solidity, just as on the very first G-SHOCK. Enhanced abrasion resistance is provided with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating.

*Due to the screw-lock construction of the case back, the orientation of the logo and lettering on it may not match up perfectly with the dial.

FEATURE 3

High-performance. slimmer module for ease of use and comfort

Optimised, high-density mounting on the circuit board makes possible a slimmer module, helping the watch to maintain the 2100 line’s familiar sense of size in this slim design. Packed with high-utility, enhanced functionality with the inclusion of Smartphone Link and Tough Solar features, the profile of the GM-B2100GD still offers a comfortable fit on the wrist.

FEATURE 4

High-precision forging and cutting processes

The stainless-steel bezel is formed through repeated, painstaking processes of forging and cutting. Crafting with an intense focus on producing precise components, even down to the portions that lie out of sight, ensures an even higher precision fit with the case, including detailed finishing of its back surface.

DETAILS

Dial finish achieved with fine processing technology

Dual-layer dial construction is employed to present the inset dial and LCD portion with distinct finishes of their own. With a minute grind-mark finish and vapour deposition applied to the inset dial ring, laser welding used to secure it to the dial, and more, precision die moulding technologies applied by Yamagata Casio deliver an intricate form and meticulously detailed surface finish. In addition, the vapour deposition applied to the dimensional index marks and the indicator hand emphasises the metallic texture for a dial design that complements the watch’s metal exterior.

*Image shows the GM-B2100D-1A.

Full metal shock-resistant structure with precision refinement

Buffering components made of fine resin are installed between the stainless-steel bezel and case to protect the module from shock. Undergoing meticulous processes of forging, cutting, and polishing, the bezel and case are precisely crafted down to the intricately shaped face, and also to the back, which is the key to the precision fit. Additionally, a three-pronged structure is employed for the lugs on the case to disperse shock to the connective part of the band.

G-SHOCK Launches Monochromatic Renditions of the GA-2100 and DW-5600 Lines

The new models are equipped with a protective case bumper.

As featured on Hypebeast, 28 Mar 2023

G-SHOCK unveils its Tone-On-Tone Protector Pack, housing muted renditions of the GA-2100 and DW-5600 lines, including the teal GA-2100PT-2A, dark gray GA-2100PT-8A and mustard yellow DW-5600PT-5. Each model is equipped with a protective bumper, a stainless steel component that locks atop the case to prevent damage or scuff marks to the watch crystal and face.

 

The octagonal GA-2100PT-2A and GA-2100PTS-8A models feature a streamlined band measuring 45.4 millimeters wide. The rectangular DW-5600PT-5 is a slimmer, more compact option for the wrist at 42.8 millimeters. This range inherits the case design and resin strap of the original DW-5000C, released in 1983. Compared to other analog-digital offerings from the GA-2100 line, the Tone-On-Tone models are simplified executions with essential functions: world time in 48 cities, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, five daily alarms, and G-SHOCK’s proprietary Super Illuminator LED. Minor specs distinguish the DW-5600PT-5, notably an EL backlight, a multi-function alarm and a flash alert. Each watch is shock-resistant and features 20-bar water resistance.

As for the overall construction, the monochromatic, matte-finished colorways achieve a relatively minimalist design, and each face protector tonally matches its respective dial color. The dial is protected by mineral glass, while carbon fiber-reinforced fine resin comprises the band and case for extreme durability and shock resistance. For those that prefer the flexibility of the GA-2100’s analog-digital functionality, the hand-shift feature allows you to modify the hands for an unobstructed view of the display.

See each watch in action in the lookbook above, and shop the Tone-On-Tone Protector Pack on G-SHOCK’s website.
