C2H4® and G-SHOCK Launch Space Age GA-2100 Watch

C2H4® has unveiled its second collaborative timepiece with G-SHOCK, the GA-2100 Space Age edition, on July 17, 2026. This release follows their successful GM-5600 collaboration from the previous year, which emphasized metallic finishes and angular designs. The new GA-2100 model adopts a more refined and architectural approach, focusing on transparency and subtlety to convey a retro-futurist narrative.

The watch features a dial with brushed silver metallic plating applied through vapor deposition, providing a sleek silver tone for the hands and markers. A translucent resin is used for both the bezel and the strap, enhancing the futuristic aesthetic. This design choice marks a departure from the bolder metallic elements of the GM-5600.

A significant design detail is the engraved caseback, which showcases Los Angeles International Airport’s iconic Theme Building. This imagery serves as a direct homage to Space Age architecture and C2H4®'s origins in Los Angeles. The GA-2100 Space Age edition watch will be available globally at a price of $245 USD.

Interested consumers can purchase the GA-2100 collaboration exclusively through C2H4®'s official website. The launch date of July 17, 2026, positions this release within the broader trend of collaborations between fashion brands and established watchmakers, often drawing inspiration from historical design movements and cultural touchstones.
