Casio America, Inc. has unveiled its first-ever 3-hand analog chronograph in the Full Metal line, the GMCB2100, marking a bold new chapter in the brand’s iconic collection of timepieces. This groundbreaking model exemplifies G-SHOCK’s unwavering commitment to merging exceptional strength with timeless elegance, delivering a piece that redefines the standard of excellence in horology.
Building on the legacy of the original G-SHOCK, the DW-5000C, the GMCB2100 Chronograph offers a masterful blend of sophistication and heritage. The collection introduces two striking models—the GMCB2100D-1A and GMCB2100AD-2A—each featuring a refined 6-9-12 multi-hand inset dial layout. The polished mirror finishes on the hands and grind-polished indexes add a refined touch, while the inset dial ring at 9 o’clock echoes the octagonal bezel of the 2100 series. For the GMCB2100AD, a light blue vapor deposition treatment on the dial creates a crisp, modern aesthetic that elevates the overall look.
Craftsmanship takes center stage in the design of the bezel and case, which undergo meticulous processes of forging, cutting, and polishing to ensure every detail is perfectly executed. From the intricately contoured back that delivers a seamless fit to the circular hairline finish on the bezel’s surface, the timepiece exudes refined elegance and craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from the original G-SHOCK’s textured dimpling, the GMCB2100 Chronograph’s metal bracelet is reimagined with a combination of hairline and mirror finishes, further enhancing its luxurious appeal.
The GMCB2100D-1A and GMCB2100AD-2A will be available for purchase starting October 25, 2024 at select jewelers and will retail for $800.
