The G-SHOCK GM-B2100VF-1A stands as a testament to craftsmanship and design. This year, in a move that marks the 40th anniversary of G-SHOCK, enthusiasts are treated to a unique collaboration with PORTER, the esteemed Japanese bag brand.
G-SHOCK, renowned for its robust watches, has elevated its all-metal analog GM-B2100 model with a special edition that incorporates a distressed finish, infusing a vintage charm into its iconic octagonal design. The design, a nod to the original G-SHOCK DW-5000, is complemented by a color palette of red, blue, and gold on the dial, reminiscent of the brand’s early designs.
The intricate process of aging is meticulously replicated on the bezel and bracelet through black ionic plating, partially removed to achieve an authentic aged appearance. This detailed work is further enhanced by the luminescent beige finish on the watch hands, adding a touch of elegance to its originality.
Turning the watch over reveals the 40th-anniversary logo, a creation of Eric Haze, etched on the case back. The buckle, bearing the Shock-Resist mark, symbolizes G-SHOCK’s unwavering commitment to resilience, a core attribute of the brand.

The collaboration extends beyond the timepiece. G-SHOCK and PORTER have crafted an exclusive octagonal collector’s bag, mirroring the design elements of the GM-B2100. This premium bag, crafted from Ventile® fabric known for its water-repellent properties, boasts a leather label bearing the G-SHOCK 40th-anniversary brand.
PORTER, with its rich heritage dating back to 1962 under the aegis of master leather craftsman Kichizo Yoshida, represents the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship. The brand’s dedication to quality is encapsulated in its motto, “heart and soul into every stitch,” a principle evident in every product they create.
