A contemporary fusion of simplicity, beauty, and G-SHOCK toughness.
Casio America, Inc. is proud to announce the launch of the G-STEEL Modern Industrial Series, a new metal-clad collection that embodies the philosophy of “less, but better” through refined engineering and a uniquely textured bezel design. The lineup includes four new timepieces: the GM5600M-1, GM2100M-1A, GM5600BM-1, and GM2100BM-1A.
Designed for those who appreciate structural clarity and industrial aesthetics, the Modern Industrial series merges minimalist styling with G-SHOCK’s iconic shock-resistant structure. With a focus on achromatic tones, functional markings in bold red accents, and meticulously crafted metal bezels, each model expresses toughness through intentional simplicity that resonates with modern design culture.
The Modern Industrial series is defined by a newly engineered checker-patterned metal bezel, crafted through a multi-step manufacturing approach that includes pressing, machining, honing, hairline finishing, masking and selective IP removal. This process produces a textured surface that not only elevates the visual depth of the bezel but also communicates functional beauty through its precision. Cut-out sections reveal the glass-fibre-reinforced resin inner case beneath, intentionally showcasing the structure responsible for protecting the module.
Aiming to achieve the coexistence of simplicity and functional beauty, the design takes cues from modern industrial aesthetics frequently seen in mechanical engineering and wearable fashion. The achromatic palette offers a clean, minimalist foundation while the red accent markings reinforce usability and functional clarity. Paired with resin or bio-based resin bands, featuring intricately detailed square-dot textures, the watches deliver a modern yet rugged presence suitable for both everyday wear and style-driven settings.
