G-Shock 2500 Launch in Singapore
Regional celebrities and media figures gathered at the IMBA Theatre at 18 Marina Gardens Drive in Singapore on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, for the release of Casio’s G-Shock 2500 series, Wolipop reported.
Casio designed the new analog lineup to channel the classic aesthetic of the DW-5000C, the brand’s first-ever shock-resistant watch launched in 1983, according to Media Indonesia.
Modern Urbante Style on Display
Attendees at the Singapore showcase sported what Wolipop described as “modern urbante” fashion to match the watches. Thai actor Joong Archen wore a leather jacket and tie with jeans, while fellow Thai star Krating chose a black striped suit.
Indonesian actor Baskara Mahendra arrived in a grey suit featuring oversized pockets, and actress Carissa Perusset wore an all-black ensemble combining a mesh top, loose trousers, and an oversized blazer, Wolipop noted.
Analog Craftsmanship Meets DW-5000C Heritage
Casio built the G-Shock 2500 series around pure analog timekeeping rather than digital screens or smartwatch features, Media Indonesia reported. The lineup retains the octagonal case shape of the original 1983 DW-5000C while introducing an ergonomic redesign and the Multi-Mission Date function at the three o’clock position. GadgetDIVA reported that Tokyo creative director Yoshirotten helmed the visual project for the launch under the theme “Toughness, Refined.”
Casio 2500 Series Offers Resin and Metal Configurations
The 2500 series spans multiple configurations, including the full-resin GAC-2500 for a lightweight, sporty feel, the brass-dial GMC-2500 with metal-clad bezels for a semi-premium look, and the full-metal bracelet GMC-2500D, according to GadgetDIVA and Media Indonesia specifications.
Both Media Indonesia and GadgetDIVA noted that the watches lack Bluetooth and smartphone notification connectivity. These monochrome units add metallic band loops, silver-reflective glass coatings, and a metal front button on the DW-6900MTM-8, and are already available for order on the official Casio Japan website.
