Casio America Updates Its G-SHOCK Black and White Collection

Casio America has introduced a fresh update to its G-SHOCK lineup with the 'Black and White Collection.' The new offerings boast five well-known models with newly developed white dials. The models include the "GA2100WD-1A, GA700WD-1A, GA100WD-1A, GA110WD-1A, and DW6900WD-1."

The Black and White Collection merges G-SHOCK's characteristic toughness with a contemporary aesthetic, which will appeal to both long-time fans and new consumers. For instance, the GA2100WD-1A stands out with its octagonal bezel, while the GA100WD-1A adds enhanced utility through a millisecond stopwatch and speedometer. The white dials are produced using a transparent vapor deposition process and offer a modern contrast to the rugged black exteriors. Each model in this collection retains the core durability features that G-SHOCK is famous for, such as shock resistance and 200-meter water resistance.
