Golden Hour in LA: Rui Hachimura’s Signature G-SHOCK is a Slam Dunk

Selected ninth overall by the Washington Wizards, Rui Hachimura made history as the highest-drafted Japanese player in the NBA in 2019. Despite facing numerous personal challenges and injury setbacks, Hachimura is still a brick wall on defence and scores like clockwork on offence, making him an ideal partner for G-SHOCK’s ultra-tough lineup.

Testament to Hachimura’s fearless journey to the bright lights of LA, the G-STEEL GBM2100RH-1A is the fourth signature model from the star Laker. With high-end solar-powered timekeeping, bluetooth connectivity, LED lighting and G-SHOCK’s patented impact-protection, Rui’s signature model packs more technical intricacies than a Gregg Popovich playbook

Embodying Rui’s relentless approach, the GBM2100RH-1A boasts a regal gold-coloured dial evoking LA’s home court, while fiery red accents symbolise both Rui’s passion for the game and the intensity of the 24-second shot clock. The most captivating element is the band, which proudly displays Hachimura’s original ‘Black Samurai’ logo that represents his fierce warrior spirit. The logo also conveys his jersey number eight, which corresponds to the first Japanese character in his last name, ‘hachi’. Even the 8 o’clock side button is engraved with the kanji character for number eight. Of course, that number holds special significance for the city of Los Angeles, as Kobe Bryant famously wore it during the first half of his legendary career. Finally, the G-STEEL GBM2100RH-1A is housed in the kind of luxurious packaging that would make Hattori Hanzō proud!

Say hello to the fourth Rui Hachimura signature G-SHOCK!

Jump into the future of tough, rugged watches with this signature timepiece inspired by professional basketball player Rui Hachimura.

This collaboration model is based on the GBM2100, with bold metal bezel, solar charging, and Bluetooth® connectivity. Touches of red — a G-SHOCK brand colour that also evokes Hachimura’s passion for the game — are added to set off the gold colour of the dial, which features a basketball-court motif. The black band highlights the watch face’s powerful impact and pulls the design together for a timepiece that projects focus and strength.

Hachimura’s original logo featuring the symbol 八 (hachi in Japanese, meaning “eight”) is engraved on the case back, and the side button at the 8 o’clock position is laser engraved with the hachi symbol, as well. These and other Hachimura-inspired symbols are sprinkled throughout the design, for a collaboration worthy of a true global basketball sensation.

The shock-resistant construction you expect from a G-SHOCK in a design as sharp, sporty, and fearless as Hachimura himself.

Comments from Rui Hachimura:

"This G-SHOCK signature watch is a limited edition I produced for everyone who enjoys both sports and fashion. It's designed with my favourite colours and the black samurai logo. Please take a look at this watch and try it for yourself."
