JAPAN | Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced the release of a new MR-G timepiece, adding to the flagship line of the G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches.
The new MRG-B5000HT, featuring the iconic form of the G-SHOCK 5000 line and finished with the traditional Japanese tsuiki hammering technique, is a timepiece of striking strength and stunning beauty. This very special timepiece is offered in a limited edition of only 500 pieces worldwide.
The MRG-B5000HT has inherited the iconic form of the first-ever G-SHOCK. It features a bezel and bracelet individually hand-hammered by a tsuiki master craftsman, showcasing the profound beauty of the shock-resistant timepiece.
The tsuiki-finished bezel and bracelet have been made of DAT55G, a special titanium alloy developed in Japan that is three times harder than pure titanium.
Individually hand-hammered by master tsuiki artisan Kazuya Watanabe, the incredibly detailed pattern, unique to each watch, is forged by the shape of the chisel tip and the force with which he wields his hammer.
The case's oborogin colour, a silver-grey with a unique lustre reminiscent of traditional sword fittings and ornaments, is achieved through a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating. The deep, shiny copper colour of the screws and buttons adds touches of glamour to the overall watch design.
Combining design that highlights traditional Japanese aesthetics with outstanding toughness, this is a bold and powerful MR-G worthy of the G-SHOCK flagship line.
