G-SHOCK Expands Fine Metallic Series with Volume 2 Lineup

Dubai, UAE – April 29, 2024: G-SHOCK introduces Fine Metallic Series Volume 2, a new lineup that brings together the brand’s signature metal-bezel design with the newly developed Tough Silicone Band, combining refined metallic style with the toughness and comfort expected from G-SHOCK.
