Casio Computer Co. Ltd. has introduced the latest addition to its MR-G line, the MRG-B5000R, a flagship model within the renowned G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches. Rooted in the concept of delivering “the ultimate in toughness-driven watches,” the MR-G line represents the pinnacle of G-SHOCK, blending cutting-edge technology with masterful metalworking techniques.
The Casio MRG-B5000R pays homage to the original G-SHOCK, inheriting its iconic shape while introducing modern features and design elements. Notably, the watch features a Dura Soft band, ensuring high comfort and flexibility for users. The softness of the band, coupled with strong resistance to discoloration, staining, and deterioration, enhances its durability over time. The titanium components are insert-molded, reinforcing the band’s connection to the case and ensuring reliability during various activities. The one-touch, 3-fold titanium clasp adds a touch of elegance to the overall design.
Inspired by the color scheme of the DW-5000C-1B, the gold-accented version of the original G-SHOCK, the Casio MRG-B5000R boasts a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating on the case and gold IP finish on the side buttons. The face of the watch incorporates gold accents, providing a harmonious blend of sophistication and ruggedness. The band design pays homage to the first G-SHOCK, featuring textured patterns and iconic elements such as “SHOCK RESIST” symbols and the brick pattern.
Building on the success of its predecessor, the MRG-B5000, the new release combines timeless design with contemporary functionality. The Multi-Guard Structure bezel enables precision polishing, utilizing state-of-the-art materials like COBARION, a super-hard alloy, finished with expert polishing craftsmanship. This combination has made the MRG-B5000 series popular as the flagship model of the G-SHOCK brand.
Designed for versatility, the Casio MRG-B5000R seamlessly transitions between formal occasions and active pursuits. Casio’s commitment to delivering toughness-driven watches is evident in the fusion of traditional G-SHOCK durability and the refined aesthetics of the MR-G line, making the Casio MRG-B5000R a symbol of innovation and heritage in the world of timepieces.
