Casio continues to celebrate the special milestone, which is its 50th anniversary, and the latest is the G-SHOCK GMC-B2100Z. It is made with a black and gold color palette as it features a full-metal chronograph -- this blends elements of durability and elegance. The design elevates the notion of creating something from noting.
The defining component of the watch is its black ion-plated band. This is accented by a single gold link which is engraved with '50th ANNIVERSARY." The outer section of the dial integrated printed 0s and 1s. The watch blends durability in the form of a slim and wearable design with a screw-down crown to reflect the shape of the bezel and compact form.
