Forged Carbon Case Timepieces

The G-SHOCK Mudmaster GWG-2000 Comes in Three Finishes

— September 16, 2021 — Fashion
The G-SHOCK Mudmaster GWG-2000 watch has been unveiled by the brand as its latest accessory that will provide outdoor enthusiasts with a way to seamlessly keep time as they go about their routine.

The timepiece is constructed with a forged carbon case to make it the first of its kind from the brand, while also helping to give it a lightweight yet strong silhouette. The accessory is achieved with a mixture of carbon fibers and resin for the entire mid-section of the case as well as the lugs and guard claws.

The G-SHOCK Mudmaster GWG-2000 watch offers improved resistance to the elements, and comes in three finish options including a military-look khaki, monochrome gray and a sand beige priced at £699 each.
Trend Themes
1. Forged Carbon Timepieces - Using a mix of fibers and resin for a strong and lightweight silhouette challenges traditional watch-making techniques and can create a new category of watches that cater to outdoor enthusiasts.
2. Improved Element Resistance Watches - The demand for tough outdoor watches will continue to grow as people spend more time on outdoor adventures, leading to an opportunity to create watches with a focus on durability as well as aesthetic appeal.
3. Military-inspired Aesthetic - A military-inspired aesthetic has always been popular in fashion and accessories, and this watch offering in khaki can create opportunities to further explore this trend and develop new designs.
Industry Implications
1. Watchmaking - Innovating with new materials and design features can disrupt the traditional watchmaking industry and appeal to a newer generation of buyers focused on style and function.
2. Outdoor Gear - Aligning with the growing demand for outdoor activities, watch companies can create a new category of durable watches that cater to outdoor enthusiasts, disrupting traditional watchmaking by reimagining the watch's purpose in the market.
3. Fashion and Accessories - The military-inspired aesthetic in this watch design and the evolving trend towards outdoor fashion makes it a perfect fit for disrupting the fashion and accessories industry by merging style with functionality.
