G-Shock Honors Blue Note Records With Jazzy G-Steel Watch

This ultra-cool timepiece pays tribute to the great American art form.

Casio G-Shock’s latest addition to the G-Steel line of tough-but-luxe stainless steel watches honors the 80th anniversary of legendary jazz label Blue Note Records. 

The timepiece gets a sleek black colorway with cool blue accents on the dial and buckle, as well as blue engravings of the G-Shock and Blue Note logos. 

A video starring Blue Note artists, including tenor saxophonist Charles Lloyd, drummer Kendrick Scott and producer/DJ Lophiile, accompanied the launch of the arty bauble. 

Along with an undeniably smooth aesthetic appeal that’s fit for a bandleader, the GSTB100BNR-1A model is equipped with plenty of tech, including solar-powered charging capabilities, Neo-Brite luminous hands and a super LED light.

A low-energy Bluetooth function allows users to pair the watch with their smartphone to change time zones, monitor battery levels, set alarms and more. 

Other standard G-Shock features include: 

• 200M water resistance
• Shock resistance
• World time/ dual time display
• 1/100th Sec. Stopwatch
• Countdown Timer
• Daily alarm

The limited-edition G-Shock x Blue Note Records watch drops at select retailers and online for $420 this March.
