Casio G-Shock G-Steel GST-B1000BD-2AER

This is the watch

The dark blue dial meets an anthracite-colored case and band in this G-STEEL model. The brick pattern on the dial carries over a detail from the first G-SHOCK watch, while the logo-free bezel keeps the design minimalist. Three central hands, two sub-dials, and a separate date display distribute information across the analog face. A shock-resistant construction and Carbon Core Guard provide the model with its technical foundation.

Materials & fit

The case measures 46.9 × 44.2 mm, is 11.6 mm thick, and weighs 118 grams with the bracelet. A stainless steel bezel protects against impacts, while the bio-based carbon-fiber-reinforced resin case encloses the module. Mineral glass covers the dial, and the crown is a screw-lock type. The solid steel bracelet features an anthracite ion-plated finish, brushed and mirror-polished sections, and a one-touch three-fold clasp. The specified wrist size is 150–205 mm.
