It may be available for a snip at $600, but Gc’s Color Boost Diver brings a rather impressive 300m water resistance with it.
A 44mm piece, in stainless steel black PVD it has a sapphire crystal and a Swiss quartz movement.
A variety of colours (colors, sorry!) are available – including blue, yellow, red and white.
Interesting colour combination from Gc.
You can choose something less ‘dark’ than that pictured though, with dials available in this lovely brown, grey or silver.
The Gc Chronograph is a 44mm piece with a case from stainless steel black/rose gold PVD.
It has a sapphire crystal water resistance to 100 meters.
Movement is the quartz Ronda Startech caliber 5030D.
Quite reasonably priced too: from 550 Euros.
Gc may sometimes feel like a poor man’s Tag Heuer (do a side-by-side comparison of the respective ladies ceramic collections as an example), but they can still turn it on when needed.
For evidence of that, check out this limited edition Skeleton Heartbeat, revealed at Baselworld this year.
Available in stainless steel in only 150 pieces, this piece measures 44mm.
It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal, a display back and is water resistant to 100 meters.
Movement is the Swiss made manual-wind ETA caliber 2801 with 17 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 42 hours.
Also available is an even more limited (limiteder?) edition of 25 pieces in rose gold PVD with Wesselton diamond bezel.
Very nice!
From something for the girls from Gc, to something for the boys.
[Press Release] The Gc Sport Class XXL Blackout with its imposing case of 45 mm makes this new addition to the Gc high –tech ceramic range for men a real eye –catcher. Setting a new trend through its particularly sophisticated matt finish for both the case and bracelet, the Sport Class XXL Blackout allies Swiss Made precision with cutting-edge design. An expressive enigmatic timepiece that makes a strong masculine statement for men who like to stand out in the crowd.
Inspired by the luxury car industry, where matt black became the byword in upscale refinement, the new Sport Class XXL Blackout adopts this elegant black sheen – a must-have for lovers of avant-garde design.
The choice of the matt finish, created through an additional stage in the ceramic production process, is indicative of the high quality standards and attention to detail embodied by Gc timepieces. With its oversize case, minute-engraved bezel and link bracelet all in black ceramic, this timepiece is a force to be reckoned with. This expressive all black timepiece makes a forceful appearance through its rendering of the iconic black and rose-gold combination of the Gc brand. The jet black matt dial is picked out with bold hand-applied indices and Arabic numerals, pointed at by tapered hands, all in rose gold with a central luminescent coating in the latest grey tint for maximum effect.
Like all Gc watches, the Sport Class XXL Blackout meets the exacting criteria of a Swiss Made timepiece and is equipped with a high precision Swiss Made movement, in this case a quartz chronograph with a 30-minutes and 60-second counter precise to 1/10 second. A unidirectional turning bezel, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a water resistance of 100 meters, assured by the screw down crown and screw-down engraved back case, also underline the qualitative aspect of this timepiece.
A commanding rugged design, the Sport Class XXL Blackout imposes itself upon the eye, making a very masculine statement of power and strength for the dedicated trendsetter

This week has been mentally busy, but finally getting an opportunity to tackle the backlog of stories I’ve been storing up in my browser tabs :-)
Alright, here goes. First up, something for the ‘ladies’ from Gc.
[Press Release] The Gc Sport Class XL-S Glam is the first all ceramic model launched by Gc with both bracelet and case in high-tech ceramic. Available in white and in black versions, it has been created to offer the younger woman a dedicated Swiss Made timepiece to suit all her fashion needs. The unique bezel design with genuine crystal inserts perfects the glam chic appearance of this contemporary timepiece.
A fresh sporty design continues the Gc trend in black and white ceramic to make the Sport Class XL-S Glam a must for the young active fashion-conscious woman.
The sensual nature of the ceramic material offering a lightness and perfect comfort to the wrist is heightened by the ergonomic design of the bracelet and case for additional pleasure to the wearer. The innate glamour of the design and the ceramic material used is also highlighted by the use of mineral crystal on the steel bezel. This sophisticated detail gives the timepiece added femininity and sets off to perfection the corresponding mother-of-pearl dials with their iridescent sheen.
The Sport Class XL-S Glam offers the characteristic Gc attention to detail in design and the quality of the materials used as well as the iconic combination of rose gold and black as well as an arresting rose gold and white execution.
