The new model is a part of the square-shaped 5000 series, and features the traditional Japanese technique of Tsuiki*1, which expresses strength and elegance. *1 A forging technique that uses a hammer to strike a metal plate to create a three-dimensional shape. Our company is creating new value that has never been seen before, based on the purpose of “bringing surprise closer to people and bringing joy beyond today to everyone.” The “MR-G” series of “G-SHOCK” combines the spirit of Japanese
craftsmanship with innovative technology to develop models that are shock-resistant and meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail, providing surprise and joy to people. The “MRG-B5000HT” we are introducing this time adopts a square form inherited from the first “G-SHOCK” model, and by applying hammering techniques created by artisans to the bezel and band, it is a shock-resistant watch that expresses beauty in its solidity. Hammering craftsman Kazuya Watanabe carved a three-dimensional hammer pattern into the bezel and band one by one by hand using the titanium alloy “DAT55G *2” developed in Japan, which is about three times harder than pure titanium. The carefully hammered hammering creates a unique and delicate expression depending on the tip shape of the chisel and the strength of the hammer. The case is made of DLC processing to express the color of Oborogin, a silver-gray color with a unique luster used in sword fittings and accessories. In addition, the screws and buttons are accented with a deep, shiny copper color, adding a touch of glamour to the whole piece. ※2 DAT55G: DAT is a registered trademark of Daido Steel Co., Ltd. Combining a design that makes use of traditional beauty with the outstanding toughness of “G-SHOCK”, this powerful model is worthy of the name of the top-of-the-line “MR-G” series.
