As the normal saying goes, all that glitters isn’t gold. But in the case of the blingy G-SHOCK Stay Gold series, I think the saying should be more appropriately altered to say all that glitters is actually gold.

On top of this, the Stay Gold series features the all-metal GSTB500BD-1A9 and two resin band options in GSTB100GB-1A9 and GSTB400GB-1A9.

Black and gold is a colour combination that you’d be hard-pressed to beat. It just seems like these two elemental colours were made for each other. They go hand in hand like bacon and eggs. Or like a meat pie and tomato sauce. Or even champagne and caviar. Whichever exclamatory expression you want to associate with the black and gold colour marriage, there’s no denying that G-SHOCK has nailed the new Stay Gold collection.

With the four new gold and black references, G-SHOCK has definitely made a statement about its continued intent with both of these models. The CasiOak, the timeless 5600 and the G-SHOCK G-Steel watch models inherently represent G-SHOCK’s attributes, stylistic approaches and cultural influence.

The GM2100G-1A9, also known collectively as the CasiOak, features that instantly recognisable aesthetic that the model lineage has become so well known for. It has a stainless steel case with a polished ion-plated gold overlay, a black dial and a matching black resin band. You’ve got all of the standard-issue time-keeping features like the other CasiOak models, too. This includes a world time indicator able to display the time in 31 different cities, a 1/100th of a second chronograph, up to five daily alarms, a countdown timer, a completely automatic calendar capable of tracking the date up until 2099, as well as the tried-and-true durability of all G-SHOCKS. But, of course, the main point of differentiation here is that lovely black and gold aesthetic, giving the watch a very lux, high-end look and feel.

Alternatively, you could go for the GM5600G-9 model, which is the more digital
version of the two with its bright and clear digital display.

With the other models, you can revel in the eclectic G-STEEL combination of metal and resin components in an ever-popular colour scheme of black and gold.

Set with luxury gold-plated detailing, this G-Shock GSTB500BD-1A9 Stay Gold Mens Watch is a true standout. Its combination of black ion-plated stainless steel and shock-resistant resin provides you with the best style and performance. Enjoy a vast range of digital features that can be upgraded with a smartphone connection, including world time and automatic time adjustment.

With the GSTB400GB-1A9 and the GST-B100GB-1A9, tough construction meets stylish design with metal bezel ion-plated in gold set against a black base. This sophisticated fashion statement with a luxury feel and cool look takes you where you want to go.

All models are endowed with that tough, durable look and feel that all G-SHOCKS have in their DNA. But these five models seem a step above the other references. That gold and black design works wonders for the overall visceral feel of the watch, in particular the CasiOak. I love how the gold case, bezel and hands look against the dark vertically brushed dial. It just seems to be such a harmonious and congruent display of functionality, style and luxury. The benefit here is obviously the fact that these models won’t necessarily break the bank, making it a fairly affordable way to wear something that looks far more expensive than it actually is.

My pick of the five would definitely be the GM2100G-1A9. I just find its gold and black theme suits the shape of the watch and would look awesome with just about anything I wear, bar a complete suit and tie affair. It’s a casual watch that looks ultra-lux, has actual real-world applicability and practicality, won’t burn too large a hole in your pocket and has that now cult-classic look.
