The headlines about the Casio G-Shock x GR watch being unveiled by Toyota are still fresh, and the reveal arrives after hints earlier this May about a partnership with Casio. The collaboration sits squarely in Gazoo Racing’s wheelhouse, blending rugged timekeeping with performance branding to appeal to fans who love both cars and watches.
Design and Aesthetics
The GA-2100 model is presented in an all-black theme that carries through the face, case and strap, creating a cohesive, stealthy silhouette. The Gazoo Racing logo appears in a silver tone on the dial, echoing its mirrored dual analog hands. A bright red indicator on the 9 o’clock day dial adds a bold pop of color that stands out against the monochrome scheme, giving the piece a distinctive racing vibe yet to be universally appealing. This color choice bridges visibility with style for everyday wear and track-side moments alike.
Specifications and Features
Casio’s G-Shock GA-2100 line is known for its hybrid arrangement of analog hands paired with a small inset digital display. This edition keeps that dual-display approach and expands practical functionality such as 31 time zones options, plus 12 or 24-hour formats for user convenience. The watch includes a countdown timer, a 1/100th second stopwatch, and five daily alarms, with the added perks of a double LED backlight, a fully automatic calendar, and a 200-meter water resistance rating that suits swimming and outdoor adventures. The combination of durability and multiple time-keeping features makes it a versatile tool for adventurers and enthusiasts alike.
Pricing and Availability
In Japan, the Casio G-Shock x GR GA-2100 is priced at ¥24,200, which is roughly $152 when converted. The limited edition will be available at the FIA WRC Forum8 Rally Japan, scheduled from May 28 to May 31. There is no information currently indicating broader international availability for this collaboration model, which makes it a collector’s item for early adopters and fans following Toyota Gazoo Racing and Casio’s joint venture closely.
