Shortly after the GBX-100S watches hit the market in Japan, Casio has now launched its much-awaited G-Shock “Black and Bold Red” collection, also available in the same area. The five-watch series, which was initially teased in a leak earlier this year, can now be bought directly from Casio Japan’s online store. Until this point, only the DW-5600BBR-1JF model was available in the UK.
Full Collection Details
The entire collection consists of the DW-5600BBR-1JF, GD-010BBR-1JF, GX-56BBR-1JF, GA-700BBR-1AJF, and GA-B2100BBR-1AJF. Every watch in this lineup sports a matte black casing with red-tinted LCD displays, giving the series a unique monochrome look. Although the models vary significantly in design—from the small DW-5600 to the rugged GX-56 and the well-liked analog-digital GA-B2100—the consistent color scheme brings them together as a cohesive set.
Pricing and Features
Prices begin at ¥14,300 ($92) for the DW-5600BBR-1JF and reach up to ¥24,750 ($160) for the Bluetooth-capable GA-B2100BBR-1AJF. Each model is designed to be shock-resistant and can withstand water pressure up to 200 meters, featuring different attributes based on the base model: Tough Solar on the GX-56, Bluetooth connection on the GA-B2100, and large digital displays on the GD-010.
The series doesn’t seem to be a limited edition, but Casio has yet to confirm if it will be available in Europe or the US. For now, the “Black and Bold Red” watches are exclusive to Japan and the UK. However, due to the global popularity of these models, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a broader release in the future.
