Casio Launches New G-Shock 2500 Series in India With Iconic 1983-Inspired Design, Analog Display and Prices Starting at Rs 9,995 – Check Features and Details

The new G-Shock 2500 Series from Casio, launched in India, revisits the design of the original 1983 G-Shock DW-5000C. It aims to cater to consumers who appreciate the classic G-Shock aesthetic but prefer a traditional analog time display. The series retains the distinctive squared-off outline but features softer, more rounded contours.

Key features include the Multi-Mission Date, a three-cell display at the 3 o'clock position that shows the date, stopwatch elapsed time, and setting information. This system automatically accounts for month-end changes and leap years after initial configuration. The dial also incorporates Casio’s Two-Eye Signature layout, featuring a small-seconds display at 9 o'clock and a multifunction indicator, designed to maintain readability without appearing crowded.

The watches incorporate a "Depth in Shadow" design concept, characterized by sculpted surfaces, layered dials, and clearly defined indexes, which are intended to create different visual effects as light falls across the face. Both resin (GAC-2500) and metal-clad (GMC-2500) versions are available, featuring shock resistance and a 20 bar water-resistance rating suitable for activities like swimming and snorkeling. Casio has also kept the watches relatively compact, potentially offering a more comfortable fit for individuals with smaller wrists.
