Casio unveils G-SHOCK 2500 Series analog watches

Casio Computer Co., Ltd. has announced the release of the G-SHOCK 2500 Series, a new collection of nine analog watches that reimagine the design DNA of the original 1983 DW-5000C digital model. The series includes the GMC-2500 (metal-accented) and GAC-2500 (resin) variants.

The collection features a new “Multi-Mission Date” display at the 3 o’clock position, which uses a three-cell window to show the date, elapsed stopwatch minutes, or setting information. This allows for a fully automatic calendar in an analog format. Additionally, a small seconds hand at the 9 o’clock position includes a “sleep function” that can be stopped to conserve battery life.

Technical features across the lineup include a magnetic shock-release mechanism for the minute hand to dissipate impact, 200-meter water resistance, and LED illumination. The series is scheduled for release in November 2026, with prices ranging from approximately $145 for resin models to $350 for metal bracelet versions.
