  "account": "Casio has unveiled a new series of G-Shock watches under the GMC-2500 and GAC-2500 names, drawing inspiration from high-end luxury brands like Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe. The \"CasioNaut\" moniker has already been coined by fans for these watches, which boast a design reminiscent of the Patek Philippe Nautilus. The watches feature prominent shoulders on either side of the case, a two-eye dial layout with a small seconds subdial on the left and a date window on the right, and an analog display - a rarity in the G-Shock lineup. The resin analog lineup is built from the DNA of the DW-5000C, the first G-Shock made in 1983. Stainless-steel versions will be labeled the GMC-2500 series, while the metal versions are expected to retail for around $320. The watches will be available in four resin colorways, including white, black, green, and yellow, with a price tag of approximately $134 each. The metal versions are rumored to have an additional color selection and may come with either a bracelet or strap option. The watches are fully shock-resistant, with Casio's Magnetic Holding Structure ensuring the hands can withstand significant impact without breaking. The metal versions measure 46.7 x 43.8 x 12.9 mm, while the resin versions measure 46.7 x 44.5 x 12.7 mm. The metal CasioNauts are expected to hit the market in November 2022.",
  "summary": "In what appears to be a follow-up to the mighty “CasiOak,” the rugged Japanese watch brand is expected to release an all-new luxury homage.",
