Digital Meets Analogue

G-SHOCK 2100 Series

G-SHOCK has consistently embraced challenges in their relentless pursuit for unparalleled toughness. The journey began in 1983 with the inception of the first G-SHOCK, the DW-5000, born from a determination to create an unbreakable timepiece. Soon after, in 1989, the AW-500 emerged, offering the same shock resistance in an analog format.

Fast forward to the present, where the GA-2100 series takes center stage – a seamless blend of the enduring toughness found in the DW-5000 and AW-500 with cutting-edge technologies, resulting in unique timepieces unlike anything seen before.

Inspired by the iconic DW-5000, the octagonal bezel, coupled with the minimalist design inherited from the AW-500, sets the GA-2100 apart. It upholds a commitment to a slim and compact form, preserving the strength of its predecessors through the Carbon Core Guard structure and an enhanced module design.

Rooted in its origin yet advancing further, the GA-2100 seamlessly complements contemporary lifestyles. As the new standard-bearer for G-SHOCK, it heralds a new era of durability and style.

Octagonal Bezel

The bezel proudly showcases the iconic octagonal design motif, a heritage maintained since the inception of the very first G-SHOCK. Its outline exudes a profound sense of stability, crafting an expression of power that befits the G-SHOCK legacy.

Minimal Design

Incorporating the latest in toughness-driven construction, the use of carbon fiber-reinforced resin allowed for an unparalleled slimming of the case to its utmost limit. The side profile design pays homage to the inaugural model, featuring reminiscent button layout, uneven surface form, and a fixed-angle band.

Dimensional Dial

Crafted with a three-dimensional molding technique, the dial exhibits depth with a minute-mark-notched dial ring, three-dimensional index cuts, a mode dial, and an irregularly shaped LCD thoughtfully arranged in a harmonious balance. The generous layout contributes to a face design that combines simplicity with outstanding visibility.

Monochromatic Color

The GA-2100 line comes in a thoroughly fashion-conscious color scheme. The GA-2100-4A boasts 9 different shades of red. The application of a different shade for each component — from the case exterior to the dial, dial ring, hands, LCD, buckles and more — gives the watch an overall integrated look, while bringing out an irresistible textural feel in its detailing.

    The Challenge of a Thinner Case

    The designers aimed for a sleeker profile while upholding the foundational G-SHOCK standards for shock resistance. By reinforcing the external structure and streamlining the module, they successfully achieved a remarkably slim profile, measuring just 11.8mm.

    Thin Module

    The module underwent slimming through the miniaturisation of components and the implementation of optimized, high-density mounting for the circuit board structure. Teaming up with the Carbon Core Guard structure, these endeavors resulted in a remarkably smaller and slimmer case.

    Slide Lever

    The inclusion of a slide lever facilitates effortless attachment and removal of the band — a highly convenient feature for tasks such as cleaning and maintenance.

  • Shock-Resistant Structure and 200m Water Resistance

    The shock-resistant structure protects the watch. With 200m water resistance as well, the watch is ideal for use in a wide range of locations and situations.

  • Carbon Core Guard Structure

    The module is protected with a carbon fiber-reinforced resin case. The special characteristics of the carbon fiber material — light weight, high strength and superior weather resistance — were leveraged to make the case as slim and compact as possible, with no compromise on shock resistance.
