Originally released in Japan and Asia in December 2017, the festive red and gold GA100VLA-4A is now officially available in North America. This large analog-digital model has a glossy red bezel and bands along with a metallic gold face. The bold design matches the traditional Chinese New Year colors with red symbolizing joy and fortune and gold/yellow symbolizing neutrality and good luck. Chinese New Year falls on February 5 in 2019.
According to g-shock.jp, production on this model has ended, so stocks are likely to be limited.
The GA100VLA-4A has a list price of $130 USD and is currently available at Casio.com
A matching Baby-G model for women was also released alongside the GA-100VLA-4A in Asia.
Update: Apparently Casio America did not have many of these in stock and did not distribute any to resellers, as it appears to be sold out and unavailable now.
