Casio Japan has expanded its G-Shock collection with the Fine Metallic Series. Stainless steel bezels and silicone bands are combined in the square GM-5600 and octagonal GM-2100 variants of the series to provide a combination of comfort and durability.
Design and Materials
A combination of mirror and hairline finishes are used to achieve a well-balanced texture on the stainless-steel bezels, which are polished utilizing forging, cutting, and polishing procedures. The urethane sheet reinforces the silicone bands, which are engineered to be flexible and abrasion-resistant. The urethane back’s gold or silver coatings go well with the metallic bezels.
Features
Standard G-Shock features are included in the series:
Shock Resistance: Protects against impact.
20-Bar Water Resistance: Suitable for water use.
Super Illuminator: Bright LED light for visibility.
GM-5600: Illuminates the LCD.
GM-2100: Illuminates both the dial and LCD.
Use and Pragmatics
Because silicone and stainless steel are combined, these models are adaptable and appropriate for a variety of environments. The metallic bezel provides durability, and the silicone band guarantees comfort.
