G-SHOCK Gives Its Popular "CasiOak" a Stainless Steel Makeover

Capitalizing on the immense success of its “CasiOak” model, G-SHOCK is now introducing a GM-2100 series crafted from metal.

Famous for resembling the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, the iconic octagonal case is now constructed out of stainless steel, offering collectors a more robust take of the playful timepiece. There’ll be four different colored dials to choose from, ranging from a sleek black or the currently trending green to a classic blue or fiery red. All four variations will come complete with a textured resin band and all the same features as the GA-2100 series, including 200M water resistance, shock resistance, and LED lighting.

For those with smaller wrists, there’ll also reportedly be a smaller GM-S2100 series coming. The more compact lineup will offer a silver model with a green dial, a black model with a matching black dial, and a rose gold model also with a rose gold dial. All three will also come with resin bands, though they’ll carry a smooth finish instead of a textured one.

For those interested, G-SHOCK’s GM-2100 series is expected to launch in the U.S. this August with prices ranging from $200 USD to $220 USD.
