Since its 2019 debut, the so-called “CasiOak” has won over countless hearts — and wrists — with its analog hands, (relatively) slim case and octagonal bezel reminiscent of the famous Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.
But the refined G-Shock also been on something of an iterative journey toward the famous watch that inspired its nickname, with a new analog chronograph version inching it closer than ever before.
Face value
Like most G-Shocks, early versions of the CasiOak — such as the GA2100-1A1 — arrived with the brand’s signature resin housing. Then, a few years later, Casio finally delivered a full-metal version, replete with a stainless-steel case, bezel and bracelet.
To date, the CasiOak series has always championed the ana-digi connection. However, the new model sees G-Shock lean further into the former by dropping the line’s LCD display in favor of a new chronograph dial. That means it’s the first in the series to feature an all-analog face.
