Casio America announced a new series of solar-powered G-STEEL watches featuring the first leather-style band for G-Shock. The G-Shock G-STEEL Street Vintage Style Collection features a Tough Leather band which is a hybrid of synthetic leather and resin. It is designed and tested to be more abrasion-resistant than a traditional leather band and is also water-resistant. The Tough Leather band offers a classy, vintage look without sacrificing G-Shock’s legendary durability. The Street Vintage Style Collection also includes a new black IP model with a stainless steel band and is due for a March 2017 release in the U.S.A.
The G-STEEL GST-S120 and GST-S130 series feature a stainless steel body, Tough Solar power, and a dual-layer bezel with an inner resin layer for increased impact resistance. Other features include shock resistance, 200-meter water resistance, world time, 5 daily alarms, 1/100 second stopwatch, countdown timer, 12/24 hour format, full auto double LED light with Neon Illuminator black light, and Neo-brite luminous hands and markers.
Unlike the 100 and 110 G-STEEL models, these 120 and 130 models are equipped with the Neon Illuminator black light LED that makes the hands and markers glow vividly for enhanced nighttime viewing.
