Each of the three models has stories set in Viking folklore sunstone means bringing victory, calcite leads you onwards to success and cordierite symbolises showing you the way.
These watches were designed with adventurers in mind and offer incredible durability that ensures a functioning timepiece in the harshest of conditions. These G-Shock watches feature a world-class technique to create the realistic texture of the stones they are mimicking, to really sell the idea of being made from beautiful stones. Each watch has a different finish depending on the stone or mineral that inspired it to make sure the look is as accurate as possible.

- Final Thoughts
G-Shock GM-2140GEM Cordierite
The first of the three is the G-Shock GM-2140GEM Cordierite which replicates the striking blue tone of the Cordierite stone. Looking at the bezel you can see the rough imprint of the texture you would see on a cordierite stone. Moving on to the dial, it has been set with a polarised vapour deposition which means you’ll see a different tone and shine that shifts depending on the angle it is viewed from. The resin strap is a darker blue which tones down the shine of the watch so it’s not too overbearing. The watch comes packed with a 200-metre water resistance rating which means this watch is perfect for water sports and having fun in the pool.
G-Shock GM-114GEM Calcite
The second watch from the limited edition collection is the G-Shock GM-114GEM Calcite which imitates the calcite stone texture and colour. Take a look at the bezel which is completely covered with rocky texture and features a gold and black ion plating for incredible durability. To ensure an accurate finish Casio gave this watch a careful heat treatment to create the seamless blend of the black and gold plating. This is the biggest of the three watches coming in with a case size of 51.99mm by 48.8mm and a 16.9mm height. Big watches are G-Shocks' bread and butter, so they know how to make a big watch that’s still very comfortable around the wrist.
G-Shock GM-5640GEM Sunstone
The last of the three watches is the G-Shock GM-114GEm Sunstone, this watch features a squared-off case that’s famous in the Casio watch lineup. The case of this watch has been set with a rocky texture and rainbow speckles which are common in sunstones. This is an absolutely striking watch and will definitely grab attention. G-Shock has gone for a negative digital display which suits the dark colours of the case and grey translucent strap. This watch is perfect for those who need a watch to clearly see their alarms set and take use of their stop watch features regularly.
