Following the signing of a global partnership agreement in November 2019, Casio and professional basketball player Rui Hachimura have been collaborated to create the GST-B100RH, a new addition to the G-SHOCK line of shock-resistant watches. This first collaboration model of Casio x Rui Hachimura will be releasing in Malaysia at the end of September 2020.
Hachimura, who has had a successful first professional season in the professional basketball league in the United States, find himself resonates with G-SHOCK, a brand that comes from Japan and never fails to take on new challenges on the global stage like him.
“Casio has come up withan amazing watch that perfectly captures the design I envisioned. I think it goes well with various clothing styles. It was also cool to see my special “Black Samurai logo” design on the watch, as it is an important symbol to me.” Hachimura says regarding his signature watch.
The new GST-B100RH is a signature model based on the analog chronograph GST-B100, part of the G-STEEL series that features a bezel made from a combination of different materials and a large dial indicator. This new cool watch features a black base color highlighted by edgy gold ion planting (IP) applied to the metal parts. The watch incorporates a hachi (8 in Japanese) logo representing both his last name and jersey number. Additional bold red accents are applied to the index mark and button pipe at the 8o’clock position, and to the dial indicator.
This signature model is distinguished by the Hachimuralogo, also widely known as the “Black Samurai logo,” on the case back, strap keeper, and special packaging.
The GST-B100RH model will be available at G-Factory stores and authorized dealer stores by the end of September 2020 for RM1,919.
