G-SHOCK joins forces with Marcelo Burlon County of Milan to produce a new collaboration model, this time on a global scale, with the special limited edition GA-100.
Drawing iconographic elements from patagonia and taking inspiration from local flora and fauna, coral snakes are chosen as the emblem of a land of tradition and wildness. Undressed from their signature colors, the snakes crawl creating a visually assertive pattern that reminds of fallen shadows and pays tribute to ouroboros, an ancient esoteric symbol of eternity and human psyche. The iconic design wraps around the watch and finds a nest on surfaces previously unexplored.
