Casio revealed the latest addition to its prestigious MR-G series within the G-SHOCK brand – the MRG-B5000R. This launch is poised to redefine the standards of durability and comfort in wristwatches, blending the iconic design of G-SHOCK’s first-ever model with advanced materials and technology.
The MRG-B5000R not only embodies the essence of the G-SHOCK brand’s beginnings but also introduces a new level of wearing comfort with its Dura Soft band.
This innovation emphasizes flexibility and durability, ensuring the watch remains a perfect fit for both formal and active settings. The Dura Soft band is designed to resist discolouration, stains, and deterioration, making it a lasting choice for G-SHOCK enthusiasts.
Reflecting on the legacy of the original G-SHOCK, the MRG-B5000R features a Multi-Guard Structure for its bezel, allowing for precision polishing. It employs COBARION®, a super-hard alloy, showcasing unparalleled metalworking craftsmanship. The watch’s design pays tribute to the DW-5000C-1B, featuring a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating on the case and a gold IP finish on the side buttons, with gold accents also adorning the watch’s face.
The MRG-B5000R is more than just a timepiece; it’s a testament to G-SHOCK’s commitment to innovation, durability, and style. It offers shock resistance, and water resistance up to 200 meters, and includes a variety of modern features such as Bluetooth® low energy communication, a solar charging system, and a host of mobile link capabilities via the CASIO WATCHES app.
These features ensure that the watch not only meets the aesthetic and functional needs of today’s consumers but also integrates seamlessly into the digital lifestyle.
Priced at $4,299, the MRG-B5000R will be available in limited quantities at selected G-SHOCK stores in ION, VivoCity, and Marina Bay Sands (MBS) starting from February 2, 2024. Find out more here.
