Casio America has introduced a new addition to the G-SHOCK MR-G line with the launch of the MRGB5000BA-1.
The brand says the new model looks to offer an opulent, polished finish with a design that pays homage to Japanese calligraphy and AO-ZUMI, a dark blue ink said to have the power for bringing relief for the mind.
MRGB5000BA-1 is developed with a Multi-guard Structure that protects the module with superior shock-absorption and a case and bezel design intricately crafted of 25 different components.
It also boasts signature G-SHOCK durability with a bezel of COBARION, a cobalt-chrome alloy four times harder than pure titanium, and a band crafted with special titanium alloy, DAT55G, that is both three times harder than pure titanium and highly workable.
The new MRGB5000BA-1 also hosts a digital dial with vapor deposition of blue and gold plus a brick pattern border that pays homage to the first G-SHOCK, DW5000C.
The watch body is a black DLC (diamond-like carbon) with intricate gold and blue IP accents on the band and side bezel.
The model also boasts Tough Solar power which is made possible with the inclusion of a highly resilient film-like solar panel on the dial that allows the watch to convert power from even the weakest light sources.
It retails for $4,000 and will be available for purchase starting this July at select retailers, g-shock.casio.com, and the G-SHOCK Soho store.
