Casio has started pre-orders for its new G-Shock GST-B1000D analog watches in Europe. The lineup includes three models: GST-B1000D-1A (black), GST-B1000D-2A (blue), and GST-B1000D-3A (green). Each watch costs €399 in countries like the Netherlands, France, and Germany, with shipping set to begin on November 7.

The GST-B1000D series was first unveiled in Japan, but it has not yet gone on sale there. These watches are part of the G-STEEL line and feature a more refined, minimalist look while keeping the toughness G-Shock is known for. The solid stainless steel bezel and bracelet use a mix of mirror, vertical, and circular hairline finishes that change with the light. The logo-free bezel and slim 11.6 mm case give the watch a clean, modern appearance.

The design takes cues from the original 1983 G-Shock DW-5000C. It keeps the brick-pattern dial and octagonal bezel while adding red, blue, and yellow accents that represent challenge, water resistance, and shock resistance. The watch measures 46.9 × 44.2 × 11.6 mm and weighs 118 grams, combining strength and comfort.

The GST-B1000D has a Carbon Core Guard structure with a case made of stainless steel and bio-based resin. Urethane buffers between the case and band improve shock absorption. It also includes a screw-lock crown, mineral glass, and water resistance up to 20 bar.

The watch is powered by Casio’s Tough Solar system, ensuring reliable performance even under low light. It pairs with smartphones via Bluetooth using the CASIO WATCHES app, enabling automatic time correction, phone finder, and location tracking features. Additional functions include a 1-second stopwatch, countdown timer, daily alarm, full auto calendar, and a Super Illuminator LED light for clear visibility in dark conditions.
