Casio G-Shock GM-2100LXB-1A and GM-2100LXB-1A9 Leak Ahead of Possible June 2026 Launch
Two new Casio G-Shock CasiOak models appear to be on the way, and both are aimed squarely at fans of stealthy, blacked-out watch designs. Leaked renders shared by watch leaker geesgshock suggest that Casio may release two new black IP-coated GM-2100 variants in June 2026: the GM-2100LXB-1A and GM-2100LXB-1A9.
Casio has not officially announced either watch yet, so the details should be treated as early leak information for now. Still, the images point to a pair of striking additions to the popular metal-covered CasiOak lineup.
The GM-2100LXB-1A appears to take the fully monochrome route. It features an all-black case, black dial, black hands, and black indices, creating a clean and aggressive look with no visible accent color. For collectors who prefer a minimalist G-Shock with a tactical feel, this version could be the more understated of the two.
The GM-2100LXB-1A9, meanwhile, adds a more premium touch with gold-tone detailing. Based on the leaked render, the gold accents appear on the inner dial ring, hour markers, hands, and digital display text. The contrast between the black IP-coated case and gold highlights gives this version a dressier, more luxurious character while still keeping the rugged G-Shock identity intact.
Both models retain the familiar octagonal bezel design that helped make the CasiOak series one of Casio’s most recognizable modern G-Shock families. The watches also appear to use a ribbed, textured resin strap instead of the smoother strap found on many standard GM-2100 models. This small change could give the new references a more distinctive feel on the wrist and help separate them from existing models in the range.
The “LXB” naming has also caught the attention of G-Shock fans. The leaker speculates that these models may be part of a “Luxury Black Series,” especially since similar GA-2100LXB and GM-2100LXB references reportedly appeared in an Asian retailer database earlier. That overlap has added weight to the possibility that these watches are real upcoming releases rather than simple concept renders.
The leak has also renewed discussion around Casio’s pricing strategy for metal-covered CasiOak models. The GM-2100 line typically commands a premium over standard resin GA-2100 models because of its stainless steel bezel and more elevated finish. However, some collectors argue that the price difference can be hard to justify, especially with many third-party aftermarket metal bezel options already available for the CasiOak platform.
Another point of debate is Casio’s recent move to place more metal-covered models under the G-Steel identity. Some enthusiasts feel this could blur the distinction between traditional G-Steel watches and metal-clad versions of existing resin models. If the GM-2100LXB-1A and GM-2100LXB-1A9 do launch as part of a Luxury Black Series, their pricing will likely be closely watched by the G-Shock community.
At the moment, there is no confirmed pricing for either the Casio G-Shock GM-2100LXB-1A or GM-2100LXB-1A9. The rumored release window is June 2026, but until Casio makes an official announcement, availability, specifications, and regional launch details remain unconfirmed.
If the leak proves accurate, these two black IP CasiOak models could become strong options for buyers looking for a stealthy metal G-Shock with a more premium edge. The all-black GM-2100LXB-1A will likely appeal to fans of monochrome watches, while the GM-2100LXB-1A9 may attract those who want a bolder black-and-gold G-Shock design.
