New G-Shock watches bring Charles Darwin’s Galápagos discoveries to life

You'll love these two new G-shock watch models

Charles Darwin came up with the theory that explains the evolution of the human species, and his name still lives on to this day—this latest collection from G-Shock is proof of that.

While the beloved watch line rolled out a collection that paid tribute to Charles Darwin a few years ago, this new line comes with a new design and interesting details—an upgrade. Available in two different shades, the Charles Darwin collection comprises these watches: the GA-B2100CD-1A4ER and the GA-B2100CD-1A7ER. Both have a design based on unique archeological sites and animal species.

The GA-B2100CD-1A7ER comes with elements that paint a clear picture of what the Galápagos penguin looks like. For its part, the GA-B2100CD-1A4ER is a beautiful representation of the marine iguana.

Just like a Galápagos penguin, which is the only penguin that lives in the equator’s tropical waters, the GA-B2100CD-1A7ER has white and black hues. It was rolled out with a white dial that sits on a black casing.

Since a marine iguana has red and black patches, the GA-B2100CD-1A4ER embodies that with a red casing and black dial.

Artistic details featured on both watches accentuate some of the components that are fixed on the dial. Each model also comes with a geographical terrain-like drawing—details in line with the Galápagos island. The case back of each is engraved with the Charles Darwin Foundation logo, while the band reads “Apoyo la conservación de Galápagos.” Translated from Spanish, this means “I support Galápagos conservation.”

The GA-B2100CD-1A4ER and the GA-B2100CD-1A7ER both retail at $170.

BENRUS moves past reissues with its first original design in years
Watch, Strap, Dial

Every BENRUS watch since 2025 has been a rerun. The Type 3X is the first new episode. The American watchmaker founded in 1921 just dropped a brand-new, modern field watch built with input from former Tier One special-operations veterans.

It’s the first watch since the brand’s 2025 relaunch that isn’t a reissue of an old design: the Vietnam-era DTU-2A/P, the Type 1 and Type 2 favored by Navy SEALs and Special Forces, and the #3061 famously worn by Steve McQueen in “Bullitt.” The Type 3X breaks from that pattern entirely, built from scratch rather than pulled from an old catalog page.

Watches, Face, Dial

With Formula 1 arriving in Madrid this scorching summer, it is now apparently the perfect time for TAG Heuer to launch a super-hot, redesigned Carrera.

The La Chaux-de-Fonds-based watchmaker reworked the Carrera Chronograph Sport (its first real overhaul of the model since 2020), then included five new references. All of that lands alongside the launch of TAG Heuer’s title sponsorship of the Spanish Grand Prix, Formula 1’s first Madrid race since 1981.
