What to know

Casio has introduced the G-SHOCK GMC-2500 and GAC-2500, two all-analog families shaped by the functional simplicity of 1983’s DW-5000C. Their new Multi-Mission Date uses three cells at three o’clock for the date, stopwatch minutes and setting information. A small-seconds display sits opposite, while its hand can be stopped to reduce power consumption.

Both families add a magnetically secured minute hand designed to absorb and release impact, a 30-minute stopwatch, a full calendar through 2099, mineral glass and 200 metres of water resistance. The metal GMC-2500 measures 46.7 × 43.8 × 12.9mm; the resin GAC-2500 is 46.7 × 44.5 × 12.7mm. Casio lists five GMC references and four GAC colours, with the collection marked for November 2026 availability.
