Last week, NOMOS announced a limited edition collection of its staple Tangente 38 Date in thirty-one color combinations. Oris unveiled its newest update to its quintessential Aquis diver, and Bremont released a reboot of its Supermarine series and launched the new land-adventure-oriented Terra Nova collection.
On the pre-owned side of the shop, we've just received this limited edition Omega Seamaster 300 released for the premiere associated with 2015's James Bond 'Spectre. ' For fans of Vacheron Constantin's Overseas collection who prefer watches on the smaller side, you'll want to check out this white dial 35mm model. In all honesty, this particular birthday wish is a touch delayed - G-SHOCK's birthday is, in actuality, firmly on the 12th regarding April. But with all the Watches & Wonders hubbub going on through last week, I thought it might be nice to let the dust settle from that event and give G-SHOCK's 41st birthday the spotlight it deserves.
While the brand's fanfare this year was markedly less fanatical than its various 40th birthday celebration celebratory restricted editions, I will argue that G-SHOCK has been on something of a roll through all of 2024, from the release from the phosphorescent "Hidden Glow" series to the "Crazy Colors" trio that brought 2008 style back with a gleaming finish. So , to show some (albeit belated) special birthday love for G-SHOCK's 41st birthday, I've rounded up four of the latest arrivals from the brand below for your reading pleasure.
Starting with one of the most technically impressive in the recently launched G-SHOCKs, this specific previous Japan-only carbon fiber product is now available stateside only in the Hodinkee Shop. Riffing on the much beloved 5000-series case design that's been a part of G-SHOCK since the beginning, the actual GWS5600U-1 is one of the most lightweight G-SHOCKs ever made, weighing only a slight 43 grams.
This feat is achieved through the clever use of carbon fiber injected into numerous resin components of the band and the bezel, a technique developed alongside Mizuno Technics. Accompanying this carbon fiber upgrade, the particular metal aspects of the GWS5600U-1 are crafted in titanium, including the side buttons, back cover, and the latch upon its music group. Since this is a G-SHOCK after all, this ultra-lightweight rendition on the brand's original 5000 collection is equipped with typically the rugged shock resistance, toughness, timers, alarms, stopwatches, as well as timekeeping functionality you'd expect. It's also water resistant up to 200 meters, has Multiband 6 radio connectivity, and is solar powered -- and is just under the $300 mark.
One pillar with the contemporary G-SHOCK ethos is really a continuous commitment to reflecting on it is environmental impact and making certain adjustments in order to its manufacturing process to be more eco-conscious. For the brand's 41st bday, G-SHOCK celebrates this milestone with a minimal edition upcycled riff in its essential DW-5600 sequence that utilizes recycled scrap resin leftover from previous projects.
Aside from being representative of the brand's pursuit of being more sustainable, the use of the recycled waste resin itself gives this G-SHOCK its dynamic, multicolored appearance. This technique is actually achieved by taking the remaining resin scraps and processing them into a fine powder. Then, this kind of colorful natural powder is mixed into a base of matte black resin for the group and viser, creating an almost kaleidoscopic display of varying hues, making the exact look of each watch unique.
In addition to its good looks and upcycled construction, often the limited version G5600BG-1 has the features we all know and love from G-SHOCK - surprise resistance, two hundred meters involving water resistance, sensors, timers, full automatic calendar, Tough Solar charging, etc . - all for less than $200.
In recent years, G-SHOCK has finally answered the exact years-long demand for renditions connected with its most iconic models crafted in metal rather than its typical resin construction - and each one has been just about as popular because you'd anticipate. The latest takes to join the very all-metal G-SHOCK fold, the main GMB2100AD-2A and also the GMWB5000D-2 take two of the brand's the majority of beloved designs and give them the stainless steel treatment, pairing them with the bright blue dial that makes each of them feel a bit more bold than the earlier monochrome members of the full metal G-SHOCK line.
Taking the form of the familiar "CasiOak" GA2100 series as well as the original DW-5000 series respectfully, the GMB2100AD-2A and the GMWB5000D-2 tap into the particular streetwear appropriate, easy sense of coolness that is the calling card with G-SHOCK's modern identity. The utilization of glowing blue hues is most obvious within the GMB2100AD-2A, which has a lot more switch space to work with on their digital-meets-analog layout. The azure tones executed on the classic 80s style of the GMWB5000D-2 are more subtle, just encircling the negative digital screen and the photo voltaic brick motif, but have just as much visual effect.

On both of these models, the actual stainless steel case and matching bracelet sport a mix of finishing techniques that boost their overall premium feel. Along with their respective shock resistance, 200-meter water resistance, and timekeeping functionality, both models are equipped with Tough Photo voltaic charging, Multiband 6 connection, and Bluetooth compatibility to easily pair with the CASIO app on your smartphone. Are these the most versatile G-SHOCKs yet? Well, that's up to you to decide.
I will end this little love letter to G-SHOCK with the brand's latest color experiment about its collection for the fitness-obsessed. Ostensibly the particular brand's rendition of a smartwatch, the DWH5600-7 combines essential G-SHOCK design with high-tech sensors to keep track of health data and help you optimize workout goals and also recovery.
The shape of the DWH5600-7 is the pleasantly familiar octagonal design that's been a G-SHOCK signature because the beginning. While this health-data-oriented line of smartwatches offers previously already been available in black and a blue-grey, this new white monochrome colorway feels particularly sleek, even futuristic. Equipped with everything you need to stay on top of your health goals and comfortable enough to wear every day, typically the DWH5600-7 features optical sensors that measure heart rate, monitors that track changes in blood flow, an accelerometer to count steps, sleep tracking performance, USB or solar charging, and Wireless bluetooth connectivity which pairs using the G-SHOCK along with Polar fitness app.
