The Modern Industrial Series features four new G-Shock models: GM-2100M-1AJF, GM-5600M-1JF, GM-2100BM-1AJF, and GM-5600BM-1JF. Each model showcases a monochrome color theme and metallic bezels, accompanied by reinforced resin cases or bands, with a water resistance rating of 200 meters. The checkered metal bezels draw inspiration from industrial glass fiber-reinforced materials, and red accent rings provide an eye-catching contrast.
