| Casio’s G-Shock GA-2100CC-3A watch |
It’s not every day that a digital sports watch and a sugary soda pop come together for a collaboration that’s equal parts retro charm and rugged durability. But that’s exactly what Casio has served up this April, officially pulling the curtain back on the new G-Shock x Coca-Cola limited edition timepiece.
First leaked earlier this month, the watch has now been confirmed as the GA-2100CC-3A – a hybrid analog-digital model from the iconic “CasiOak” family. And this isn’t just another color swap. It’s a bubbly, translucent love letter to the world’s most famous soft drink on its 140th anniversary.
A Design Poured Straight from the Bottle
The first thing you’ll notice about this special edition G-Shock is its case and strap: a translucent green resin that directly mimics the tinted glass of a classic Coca-Cola bottle. That’s a sharp departure from the usual black or military-grade hues we see on G-Shocks, and it gives the watch a playful, almost candied aesthetic.
Beneath that icy-green shell lies a warm brown dial that echoes the deep caramel color of the cola itself. To make things unmistakably Coca-Cola, Casio’s designers have splashed red accents across the dial – most notably on the small seconds hand and the day indicator. But the real conversation starter? The day-of-the-week hand has been replaced by a miniature Coca-Cola bottle that rotates to point at the days of the week. It’s a whimsical, collectible touch that fans will adore.
Look closer, and you’ll spot a bubble pattern embossed on the dial, mimicking the fizz rising in a freshly poured glass. Between the bubbles and the bottle-shaped hand, this watch tells a story without you ever needing to press a button.
Beneath the Fizz: The Same Rugged Core
Don’t let the playful looks fool you – this is still a full-blooded G-Shock. The GA-2100 series is famous for its Carbon Core Guard structure, which keeps the watch lightweight yet shock-resistant. You also get 200 metres of water resistance, meaning you can take this cola-themed companion for a swim (just don’t confuse it with the real thing).
Power comes from a quartz movement that Casio estimates will run for three years on a single battery. And because it’s a hybrid model, you get both analog hands and a small black-background digital display tucked at 6 o’clock. That screen handles the date, world time, stopwatch, multiple daily alarms, and a countdown timer.
In short, it’s as functional as any other GA-2100 – just with a lot more personality.
Release Details: How to Get One (Good Luck)
Fans in the UK have the clearest path to ownership. Casio has confirmed that the GA-2100CC-3A will launch there in May 2026 with a retail price of £160 (roughly $216). Importantly, it’s limited to one per customer – a clear sign that Casio expects these to vanish quickly.
To see the official product listing and get ready for launch day, you can visit Casio’s UK page here (note: the page may be restricted or not yet live in some regions).
In Japan, things are even tighter. Due to overwhelming expected demand, Casio will sell the watch via a lottery-style system at ¥27,500 (about $171). That’s a lower sticker price than the UK, but your chances will depend entirely on luck.
As for the US and European Union? Casio has not yet announced any release plans. That could change, but for now, collectors in those regions may need to watch the grey market or hope for a wider drop later in 2026.
Final Verdict: A Sip of Nostalgia on Your Wrist
The G-Shock x Coca-Cola GA-2100CC-3A isn’t trying to be subtle – and that’s exactly why it works. It celebrates a 140-year-old beverage brand with the same irreverent energy that G-Shock has brought to watches for over four decades. The translucent green case, the brown bubbly dial, the bottle-shaped hand – it’s all delightfully extra.
At £160, it’s priced like a standard GA-2100 but delivers a limited-edition experience that feels far more premium. Just don’t wait too long to decide. If past G-Shock collaborations are any guide, these will be gone before the ice melts.
