G-SHOCK announced new MR-G featuring iconic design of first G-SHOCK. The MR-G series, the flagship line of the G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches is getting a new addition to its line-up. The new MR-G B5000 is the first MR-G timepiece to feature the iconic design of the very first G-SHOCK watch.<\/p>\n

The G-SHOCK DW-5000C is the first-ever G-SHOCK released in 1983. Now, the G-SHOCK MR-G B5000 watch brings a brilliant shine and dignified distinction to the shock-resistant watch by employing cutting-edge metals finished with master polishing craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

Casio developed the new Multi-Guard Structure, allowing them to apply sophisticated polished finishes to even the tiniest corners of the complex bezel form made of 25 different components. The new structure incorporates shock-absorbent parts in the multi-component bezel to ensure excellent shock resistance, while also allowing polished finishes to be applied to each component, down to the most challenging spots, for a stunningly beautiful finish. The band employs a unique structure as well. The separate pins are pressed in round holes in each metal link which allows detailed polishing for an equally beautiful finish on the band.<\/p>\n

The quality of the master polishing craftsmanship shows on the cutting-edge, made-in-Japan materials used for the MRG-B5000. COBARION, which has a hardness about four times that of pure titanium and a brilliant gleam comparable to platinum, is used for the top surface of the bezel. The band is made of DAT55G, a titanium alloy that is about three times harder than pure titanium and highly workable, making it scratch-resistant and ensuring a long-lasting, beautiful mirror finish.<\/p>\n

Masterfully crafted polishing and meticulously selected materials come together to create a timepiece worthy of that original design, but with the trademark quality of the MR-G line, which stands at the pinnacle of the diverse family of G-SHOCK watches.<\/p>\n

The MRG-B5000 comes with a radio-controlled calibration and smartphone link connectivity. The watch connects with the dedicated CASIO WATCHES smartphone app to automatically adjust to the correct time. It also comes equipped with a solar charging system and a high-brightness LED light for added convenience.<\/p>\n

As with other MR-G watches, the MRG-B5000 is crafted on the high-end Premium Production Line at Yamagata Casio, the \u201cmother factory\u201d of Casio watch production.<\/p>\n
