GM-B2100LL Inspired by Game World Technology
Drawing its creative inspiration from the Hextech fusion of magic and cutting-edge technology within the League of Legends universe, the GM-B2100LL showcases a design that captures the essence of this dynamic realm. The bezel and select band elements feature an expertly applied aged finish, imparting a weathered appearance for an authentic touch. Elegantly incorporated blue accents on the LCD display and minute hand pay homage to the iconic Hextech technology’s distinctive hue.

Embracing the beloved and enigmatic champion, Jinx, the GA-110LL timepiece vividly portrays her character with a vibrant color scheme adorning the bezel and band. The band, along with the indicator hand on the inset dial positioned at 9 o’clock, reminiscent of Jinx’s signature rocket weapon, celebrates her bold and dynamic persona.
Both models prominently showcase the League of Legends game logo as a central design element, with the iconic emblem adorning the case back and elegantly gracing the band, serving as a striking symbol of their partnership with this legendary gaming universe.
