Casio has leaked a new G-Shock series that echoes Patek Philippe's Nautilus, featuring fully analog designs in both resin and stainless steel. The GMC-2500 and GAC-2500 models are expected to launch in November, with resin versions priced around $134 and metal models at approximately $320.
A Nautilus-Inspired Design for G-Shock
The upcoming CasioNaut series, comprising the GMC-2500 and GAC-2500 models, draws clear inspiration from Patek Philippe's iconic Nautilus, featuring prominent shoulders on either side of the case. This design echoes the luxury watch's heritage, which Gérald Genta created in 1976 after sketching it in five minutes while dining with Patek executives. The resemblance has already sparked nicknames like 'CasioNaut' and 'CasioTilus' on social media platforms.
Casio did not respond to WIRED's request for comment regarding the leak. The watches represent a bold move for the G-Shock line, which has previously seen success with the CasiOak, a model that mimicked Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak. Now, Casio appears to be targeting the high-end watch market with a design that blends luxury aesthetics with G-Shock durability.
Analog Innovation and Technical Features
Unlike most G-Shock models, the CasioNauts are fully analog, a rarity in the brand's lineup. The watches feature a two-eye dial layout with a small seconds subdial on the left and a date window on the right. Additionally, they incorporate Casio's Magnetic Holding Structure, where hands are held magnetically rather than fixed to a shaft, allowing them to absorb impact during severe shocks.
The resin GAC-2500 series is built from the DNA of the DW-5000C, the first G-Shock introduced in 1983. Four resin colorways are expected in white, black, green, and yellow, while the stainless-steel GMC-2500 models will offer a choice of colors along with bracelet or strap options. A Shock Resist mark is visible on the tail of the seconds hand, underscoring the watches' rugged capabilities.
Pricing and Availability Details
The resin GAC-2500 models are estimated to retail at 20,900 Japanese yen, approximately $134 each, while the metal GMC-2500 versions will reportedly cost around $320. The rumored release date for all CasioNaut models is November, with the resin colorways already leaked in November. The metal GMC-2500 dimensions are 46.7 x 43.8 x 12.9 mm, and the GAC-2500 measures 46.7 x 44.5 x 12.7 mm.
These specifications highlight Casio's attention to detail in creating a luxury-inspired timepiece that remains true to its G-Shock roots. The combination of analog functionality, shock resistance, and premium materials positions the CasioNaut as a potential disruptor in the affordable luxury watch segment.
