It also has a range of removable bezels that are made from [stainless steel materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-gsteel-modern-industrial-series) and urethane. It is framed by a [resin case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-gsteel-gm2110) and the entire structure is reinforced with Carbon Core Guard for security. The inspiration behind the watch's look nods to the toy capsules that are in Japanese vending machines. It is a surprising experience when they open it. There are three colorways of the new G-B001 starting with yellow and grey with red details. It also comes with ombre blue bands and an orange and green bezel to personalize.
