G-Shock MR-G MRG-B5000B-1DR MR-G - The Origin Watch

The design of the MRG-B5000 watches from of G-Shock’s premium collection is based on the first G-Shock from 1983. The brick pattern on the dial symbolizes their shock resistance; Throw a G-Shock against a wall, and it still keeps running. In this tradition, the craftsmen of Casio's exclusive factory in Yamagata, where the MR-G premium watches are still largely produced by hand, have passed a real test of metalworking skills with this series. In every detail, these watches are the absolute top in finish which further enhances the ultimate shock resistance of G-Shock. 

The case is made of a super hard Ti64 titanium alloy and features a bezel made of COBARION®. This is a cobalt-chrome alloy that is no less than four times harder than pure titanium. The 25 parts of the bezel are individually polished and screwed for a highly detailed and flawless appearance. Springs and silicone buffers also guarantee excellent shock absorption and protection of the MRG movement with gold-plated back cover. 

The bracelet is also made of a titanium alloy, DAT55G, which is three times harder than pure titanium and highly resistant to scratches and impact. The rivets are manually screwed into the bracelet as opposed to other G-Shock series where the rivets are cast. 

The MRG-B5000B-1DR comes closest to the original 1980s design with red color accents, housed in a deep black case with a polished finish and a DLC (diamond like carbon) coating that has a glossy finish. The functional performance of the watch is also excellent, with radio-controlled time calibration and smartphone pairing via Bluetooth®.
