4 new Casio stainless-steel watches with red displays revealed, slated for Feb release
Casio appears to be doubling down on the success of its high-contrast "Black and Bold Red" theme with a more aggressive, metallic follow-up. Leaked marketing materials confirm that a new "YRA" collection is slated for a February 2026 launch. The company is looking to encase these high-visibility red displays within cold, silver-brushed steel bezels, and in doing so, the company is moving the series away from "stealth" and toward a more industrial aesthetic.
The "YRA" lineup - comprising the GM-5600, GM-6900, GM-2100, and GM-110 - has the same, signature red-tinted LCDs and hand accents of its predecessors while altering the watch's wrist presence to a big degree. The reflective properties of the silver steel bezels make the deep red of the displays pop even more than they did against matte black resin. The analog-digital variants, specifically the GM-2100YRA-8A, utilize the "CasiOak" octagonal bezel to frame a complex, multi-layered dial where the only hints of color are the high-visibility red tips of the hands and sub-dial markers.
Under the hood, both the square GM-5600 and the triple-graph GM-6900 use modules (3525 and 3529) that come with a five-year battery life. This means that while these are premium in construction, they will be more of "every day tool watches" rather than gadget-heavy models. However, the other module number (5611) confirms that this version will not feature Tough Solar or Bluetooth sync. While this might disappoint those looking for higher-end features, the decision is likely to keep the watch profile slim and the pricing accessible. To compensate for the lower-light visibility common in negative red displays, the entire series is equipped with high-intensity white LED backlighting.
As these models are "GM" series entries, they feature the classic G-Shock construction: a resin inner case with a stainless steel outer bezel for extra shock resistance. While official MSRPs have not been finalized as of writing, we can be nearly sure that this series will debut in February 2026, thanks to the "Feb" release markers. We can also expect pricing to be in line with previous metal-bezel watches, likely landing between $180 for the digital squares and $220 for the more complex ana-digital variants.
