G-SHOCK’s Gorpcore-Inspired Urban Outdoor Series Unveils Upcycled CORDURA Band

G-SHOCK paved the way for indestructible timepieces, an essential item crafted for city streets and rugged natural environments. Lately, the brand has initiated sustainable production methods to minimize environmental harm while continuing their tradition of groundbreaking design and innovation. One such initiative is the use of CORDURA® re/cor™ fabric straps, dyed using natural substances like red beet and echinacea. The newest Urban Outdoor collection, aimed at thrill-seekers and nature enthusiasts, includes understated color options for the GA-010CE-2A and GD-010CE-5 models.

These watches are built to handle various outdoor activities such as water sports, mountaineering, dirt biking, and ATV riding. They have a shock-resistant construction and can withstand water pressure up to 20 bars. The design of these watches is inspired by the current trend in streetwear known as gorpcore, which emphasizes ruggedness and practicality. The case design is large, multifaceted, and has a front button for an ergonomic watch face. While you might not be planning to venture into the wilderness, these watches blend well with cold-weather styles and casual clothing. They can be paired with oversized parkas, puffer jackets, hoodies, cargo pants, and more. The fabric bands come in soft, subtle colors that complement rather than stand out excessively. The GA-010 models come in a monochromatic teal color scheme (GA-010CE-2A) or a tonal brown/khaki makeup (GD-010CE-5).

This watch showcases essential elements such as the case, bezel, and straps made from eco-friendly resin, demonstrating G-SHOCK’s commitment to sustainability. Notably, it boasts a long-lasting battery that can operate for up to ten years. Traditional features are still present, like a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, five daily alarms, world time in 31 time zones, and a Super Illuminator LED (which functions as the backlight for the GD-010CE-5).
