Full Metal, Full Color

A special design process allows each Full-metal G-SHOCK watch to stand out with unique polychroma­tic accents

- PRODUCED BY Gear Patrol Studios

The GMB2100PC-1A and GMWB5000PC-1 join G-SHOCK’S new Full-metal Polychroma­tic Accents series which incorporat­es aesthetica­lly pleasing, colorful designs into its legendary timepieces. To create the series, G-SHOCK integrated a process called gradation vapor deposition which creates a unique, iridescent applicatio­n of color. Translatio­n: Each watch is both visually stunning and unique.

The new series provides a visual upgrade to the brand’s existing premium full-metal watches by combining functional­ity with striking design and refinement. The watches pair an array of modern features like Bluetooth connectivi­ty, solar power, and automatic time zone adjustment with staples like a stopwatch, countdown timer, multifunct­ion alarms and an easy-to-read display.

When Kikuo Ibe designed the G-SHOCK in 1983 he did so with toughness in mind, and the features of these timepieces reflect that vision — all styles are housed in a sleek and durable stainless steel case o!ering robust shock resistance and water resistance up to 200 meters. The watches also have Casio’s Tough Solar technology which uses available light sources for charging.

Enhanced by polychroma­tic color accents, the GMB2100PC-1A hour markers and luminescen­t sword-shaped hands are both stylish and highly legible, and the Double Super Illuminato­r LED further improves visibility in dark environmen­ts. On the GMWB5000PC-1, the unique vapor deposition process is applied to the underside of the glass, creating a shimmering e!ect. Pair either piece with CASIO Watches app to access world time for 300 cities, event reminders, time and place stamps, and a phone finder.

When combined with the quality, durability and stand-out features we’ve come to expect from G-SHOCK, the Polychroma­tic Accent series o!ers a suite of full-metal contempora­ry timepieces that are equally at home during a nice dinner as they are in the great outdoors.
