Casio's All-Analogue G-Shock 2500 Arrives November 2026, Already Nicknamed 'CasioNaut'

other · 2026-10-22

In early November 2026, Casio is set to unveil its G-Shock 2500 series, which will be its first fully analogue watch in many years and the first collection of nine models to be launched at once. A leak from Casio's Japanese website caused the model to gain significant attention, with the full-metal variant dubbed 'CasioNaut' as a nod to Patek Philippe's Nautilus. The pricing will be between £110 and £230, designed to be a 'watch for life.' Previously, fully analogue options were found in the Gravitymaster and MRG lines, priced from £600 to £6,000. The watches will feature a 'multi-mission' date window and a magnetic shock release system. Warren Halliwell, UK senior content manager, mentioned it responds to fan feedback, while product planner Tomohiro Yuasa highlighted the blend of the familiar and the new.
