@G-SHOCK Releases Limited-Edition MR-G Timepieces Inspired By Kachi-iro, The Japanese Color For Winning;
Kachi-iro is a dark navy-blue color that was preferred by the native samurai warriors and was often used for armor and helmets.
Casio announced the latest additions to its luxury G-SHOCK MR-G Series, with the introduction of the Kachi-Iro
Collection. The brand-new MRGB2000B-1A and MRGB2000R-1A take inspiration from kachi-iro, the color of winning and victory in Japanese culture. Kachi-iro is a dark navy-blue color that was preferred by the native samurai warriors and was often used for armor and helmets.
The MRGB2000B-1A boasts a full metal band, derived from the base MRGB2000. A traditional Japanese scale
pattern is used on the surface of the dial, while the outer face is cut to a shape that resembles a Japanese fan,
creating a stunning impression. The gentle concave surfaces of the hour markers resemble the curve of a samurai
sword, while the inner surface of the bezel, inset dials, and logo all incorporate the bold kachi-iro color.
The MRGB2000R-1A model offers a durable fluorine rubber band with a distinctive Bishamon tortoise shell finish—a symbol of strength in Japan since ancient times. While both models are equipped with a deep layered hardening
titanium case, the unique bezel of the MRGB2000R-1A is made of recrystallized titanium. Heat treating titanium
creates a distinctive crystal pattern on its surface which resembles the nie on Japanese sword blades.
Both watch models incorporate ancient Japanese strength and aesthetics that pair well with G-SHOCK’s absolute toughness and top technical features such as Tough Movement, Multi-Band 6 Atomic Timekeeping, and Full Time Link Bluetooth connectivity.
