In the realm of rugged timepieces, G-Shock has long set the standard with its durable rubber watch straps, a hallmark of resilience and reliability. However, as we pivot towards sustainability without compromising on performance or aesthetics, Cordura Eco Fabric emerges as a compelling alternative.

This innovative material not only promises enhanced durability and a genuine rugged appearance but also aligns with the growing demand for eco-conscious choices in watchmaking. And Cordura Eco Fabric is what Casio has outfitted its iconic watches with.
Folks, meet the Utility Black Series featuring three iconic G-SHOCK watches: DW5600BCE-1, GA2100BCE-1A, and GA700BCE-1A, all featuring durable Cordura Eco Fabric. This collection stands out for its mix of robustness, performance, and commitment to sustainability.
The GA700BCE-1A impresses with a 5-year battery life and a powerful LED SUPER illuminator, the GA2100BCE-1A boasts a sleek design with Dual LED light and world time for 40 cities, while the DW5600BCE-1 maintains the classic square case look.

Key features across the series include shock resistance, 200-meter water resistance, world time (in two models), 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, and varying alarm functions, with prices set at US$120 each.
The Cordura Eco Fabrics gave these iconic G-Shock watches a totally different kind of rugged look and feel that feels almost like they are tactical timepieces – especially the DW5600BCE-1. I may be biased due to my inclination towards square watches but damn, will you look at this little guy. It is ruggedly gorgeous!
