A Set Featuring an Iconic Octagonal Watch and Collection Bag

The "G-SHOCK 40th Anniversary Limited Edition PORTER Collection Bag Set" commemorates G-SHOCK's 40th anniversary, offering a limited edition watch paired with a PORTER bag. The limited model is based on the analog "GM-B2100" with its signature octagonal shape. The dial features a stylish color scheme of red, blue, and gold, reminiscent of the very first "DW-5000" model.

The bezel and bracelet are treated with a black ion plating, followed by an aging process that selectively removes parts of the plating to create a worn-in, vintage appearance. Furthermore, the hands are coated with a beige luminous material, evoking the look of aged color.

The case back is engraved with the G-SHOCK 40th anniversary logo designed by graffiti artist Eric Haze, while the band buckle features the iconic G-SHOCK "Shock Resist" mark.

Paired with this watch is a special collection bag crafted by PORTER. Designed with an octagonal base inspired by the "GM-B2100" model, it features a unique structure capable of holding up to five watches.

The bag is luxuriously made from high-density, water-repellent Ventile fabric, with an interior featuring a sewn-in G-SHOCK 40th anniversary mark embossed on leather. This collaboration offers a limited edition item filled with meticulous details befitting a celebration of G-SHOCK's 40th anniversary.
