GA-V01SKE Series — Y2K Transparency Meets G-SHOCK Toughness

Four translucent colourways. One of the most unconventional G-SHOCK designs of the decade.

The GA-V01SKE is G-SHOCK at its most confident — a Y2K-inspired refresh of the GA-V01 case that trades solid resin for see-through shells and lets you look straight into the architecture that makes the watch tough. Inspired by the early-2000s aesthetic of clear plastics, glossy finishes and candy-coloured gadgets, the series turns a shock-resistant tool watch into something closer to a style object, without giving up a single millimetre of G-SHOCK credibility.

A case you can see through — and one that hits back

From the outside, the GA-V01SKE looks like nothing else in the catalogue. The translucent resin reveals the inner module, the layered dial and the sculpted geometry of the case — a detail that used to be hidden is now the whole point. Up close, the oversized hour indexes sit on top of the glass rather than underneath it, giving the face a three-dimensional, almost architectural look that some fans read as alien eyes and others as a butterfly silhouette.

The design isn’t just decorative. Those raised indexes double as bumpers that absorb impacts before they reach the crystal. The integrated bezel-and-band construction wraps the module in a single continuous structure. And inside, Casio’s Shock Release Hand uses magnetic force — not a rigid mount — to hold the minute hand in place, letting it deflect under impact and snap back into position. It’s a genuinely new approach to shock resistance, and it’s what allows the designers to fit such oversized, unconventional hands into the dial in the first place.

Pick your colour

Each GA-V01SKE is powered by the same module and shares identical specs. The only question is which finish matches the way you want to wear it.

Built to be worn and forgotten

Under the playful shell, the hardware is full G-SHOCK. Shock-resistant construction. 200-metre water resistance (20 bar). A CR2025 battery engineered for roughly ten years of life — so the watch is genuinely set-and-forget rather than something you’re charging or servicing every few months.

The feature set leans practical. World time across 31 zones and 48 cities, with daylight saving on/off. A 1/100-second stopwatch measuring up to 24 hours. A 24-hour countdown timer. Five daily alarms. An hourly time signal. A full auto-calendar that runs to 2099. And a double LED Super Illuminator — one LED for the analog face, another backlight for the digital display — that keeps everything readable in the dark, with selectable 1.5-second or 3-second illumination and afterglow.

The layered analog-digital face combines a metallic dial with decorative openwork cut-outs above a full-screen inverted LCD. Specially designed oversize hour and minute hands dominate the centre, with a small indicator hand inside the digital window. A hand-shift feature clears the analog hands out of the way on demand when you need to read more of the digital display.

Who the GA-V01SKE is for

If your existing collection skews classic — a DW-5600, a GA-2100, the square staples — the GA-V01SKE is the watch that breaks the pattern. It’s louder, stranger, more future-facing. If you’re new to G-SHOCK and not sure where to start, it’s arguably the most characterful entry point in the current catalogue: clearly a G-SHOCK, but nothing like the ones you grew up seeing.

Either way, you get the same combination: a shock-resistant, 200-metre-water-resistant watch with a ten-year battery, built around an original design that turns transparency into both a style statement and a structural feature.

Four colours. One idea. Pick yours.
