Launched on April 12, 1983, the first G-SHOCK revolutionised the watch industry with its unparalleled shock resistance, surpassing ISO standards and thriving in extreme conditions — from intense athletic use to the vibrations of power tools like jackhammers and chainsaws. Beyond its advanced durability, the original G-SHOCK gained acclaim for its bold, distinctive design. This legacy was solidified in 2023, when the Japan Patent Office granted Casio a 3D trademark for the shape of the iconic watch — a first for wristwatches in Japan.
The new GA-2100RL-1AER pays meticulous tribute to its predecessor while integrating cutting-edge G-SHOCK technologies. Its stainless steel case and bio-based resin band replicate the original's design, right down to the dimples and details.
Iconic colour accents — red for determination, blue for water resistance, and yellow for shock resistance — remain true to the classic model, as does the signature brick pattern symbolising toughness. Enhanced features like a high-brightness LED backlight blend modern functionality with timeless aesthetics.
