Introducing a very special collaboration with FUTUR that blends up-and-coming fashion from France with the unending G-SHOCK quest for the ultimate toughness.

This collaborative design begins with the GA-2100 and its octagonal bezel, incorporating translucent components to the base gray for a monochromatic, futuristic style. A gold indicator hand and the colors of the French flag (blue, white and red) adorn the small inset dial at 9 o’clock as striking accents.

A simple, always-fresh design that never grows old — everything you want from a collaboration between a well-loved street fashion brand and the rugged G-SHOCK.

FUTUR was started by Felix Schaper and Benoit Fredonie in July 2014. Coming from two different backgrounds, — one from skateboarding, the other from apparel, FUTUR became a brand focused on polished aesthetics rooted in skateboarding with a high quality touch.

The very first G-SHOCK — the DW-5000 — debuted in 1983. Its timeless design, perfected right from the beginning, was born of a pursuit of the ultimate toughness eschewing all hints of the extraneous.

The first GA-2100 watch was introduced in 2019, expanding the possibilities of toughness and analog style. Heir to the DW-5000 and AW-500’s conceptual design frameworks, it leveraged the latest technologies to capture the essence of their identities in a new physical form. This meant nothing short of creating a new standard-bearer for G-SHOCK, re-envisioned from the vantage point of the brand’s beginnings, now some 30 years after the AW-500’s debut.

Paris, Hamburg, New York and Shanghai… impressions gathered from points all around the globe informed the design work. Countless sketches were made, and designs drawn and reviewed in a process of painstaking trial and error. At last a new watch was born, featuring a minimalist design with an octagonal bezel.

With pride in its unchanging form, the G-SHOCK mission is one of continuous advancement, always transcending the times, conventional wisdom, and the limits of imagination. With a toughness emblematic of the new era, the GA-2100 has arrived.

The bezel features the octagonal design motif maintained since the very first G-SHOCK. The outline a sense of stability, creating an expression of power worthy of the G-SHOCK.

With a sense of depth achieved with three-dimensional molding, the dial features a minute-mark-notched dial ring, three-dimensional index cuts, a mode dial and irregular shaped LCD in a sweetly balanced arrangement. The spacious layout makes for a face design offering simplicity as well as excellent visibility.

The developers pursued a thinner design while still satisfying the original G-SHOCK criteria for shock resistance. They strengthened the external structure and slimmed the module, achieving wafer-thin at just 11.8mm.

The double LED with high luminance brightly illuminates the dial and LCD to ensure readability in the dark.

The shock-resistant structure protects the watch. With 200m water resistance as well, the watch is ideal for use in a wide range of locations and situations.
