[MR-G] The highest peak of G-SHOCK! Introducing the new product MRG-B5000!


Today (March 1, 2022), the ban on information has been lifted. Introducing the MRG-B5000 ! ! ! !

Unchanging form, discerning quality


The first model of G-SHOCK, the DW-5000C, was born in 1983.
In 2018, the GMW-B5000 realized its shock-resistant structure with a full metal exterior.
And a digital standard model with a new shock-resistant square design [MR-G] was born this year.
It's not a new GMW-B5000 series, but a new MR-G !
Has this finally arrived! Isn't that what it feels like?

Two models have been announced this time!

mrg-b5000b-1jr Black DLC coating
MRG-B5000B-1JR
¥462,000 (tax included)

mrg-b5000b-1jr TIC processing
MRG-B5000D-1JR
¥396,000 (tax included)

There are two types here.

picture? Some of you may be surprised at this price.
We staff are also the best MR-G , so I thought that the price would be appropriate, but when I saw the price, I was surprised. Lol But of course there is a proper reason for this amount!
After hearing the explanation of the product from the manufacturer, CASIO, I was convinced.
This time I would like to tell you about its charm! !

First of all, MR-G is originally developed as the highest peak series among G-SHOCK .

The reason for the highest peak is in the ultimate manufacturing.
In addition to being particular about materials and design, each one is carefully made by "Yamagata Casio", which consistently performs everything from parts manufacturing to assembly. MR-G has continued to evolve due to various technological innovations since the development of a shock-resistant structure to make it full metal, which is different from resin models.
This is a special series that stands out from other series.

This model was born from the evolution of "extremity" born from such relentless commitment.
I'm really mastering it. CASIO is amazing.

Normally, when developing a new product, the design department would ask the development department about the product, but for the MRG-B5000 , the development department requested the design department to make a product like this. .
A model that challenged to [master] the original model DW-5000C "ORIGIN" released in 1983 . The shape of the resin molding is extremely uneven and difficult to polish, but without changing the shape of the case, it could not be polished until now . ORIGIN" will be the highest peak model .

This is a challenge model with a new origin and a new challenge, created by the "challenge" of those who have been developing G-SHOCK for many years! !

First of all, this bezel part


MRG-B5000 bezel parts

The same square full metal model GMW-B5000 uses only one part as a case part , but the MRG-B5000 uses as many as 25 parts for this part alone .
By subdividing and assembling, we were able to beautifully polish all kinds of surfaces, such as grooves, dents, and chamfers, which could not be polished until now.
It's really a small part, but such attention to detail leads to the beauty and elegance of the whole.
And in order to compose a full-metal shock-resistant structure with bezel parts that pursue beauty and subdivide, we developed a multi-guard structure as a special structure for MRG-B5000 .

At first, it seems that 25 parts were falling apart without being able to withstand the impact.
After many improvements, this multi-guard structure was born!

By pushing up the T-shaped bar on the multi-part bezel with a metal leaf spring, the top bezel functions as a bumper! Plus, combined with fine resin parts and silicon cushioning material, it reduces the impact.

Considering that there are 25 parts in this part alone, and polishing is applied to each one, the number of work processes has increased more than ever, and it can be said that it takes a considerable amount of time and effort to make one. increase.

However, it's still too early to be surprised... Titanium is used for the material of MR-G, but this time, three different materials are used for each part .
- Top bezel → Cobalion

MRG-B5000 top bezel is Cobalion
Cobalt-chromium alloy is said to have four times the hardness of pure titanium and the same brilliance as platinum.
The bezel part is the part that is most likely to be scratched when used. That's why we use Cobalion, which has a high degree of hardness. Still, Casio's commitment is to perform a thorough and careful polishing. As it is said to be equivalent to platinum, the shine after polishing is wonderful.
● Band → DAT55G

MRG-B5000 band adopts DAT55G
DAT55G was used in the previous limited model, and this is the first time it has been adopted in the standard model.
This is a titanium alloy with about three times the hardness of pure titanium.
The band part is not only this screw part, but there are small parts inside that connect the frames. Since this part is small, it is difficult to process it with a material with high hardness, and even 64 titanium seems to be difficult to manufacture. It seems soft too.
It was adopted by the band using its nature.
●Case, camera back, button → 64 titanium

64 titanium is used for the MRG-B5000 case, back cover, and buttons
It has twice the hardness of pure titanium and is the most popular titanium alloy material.
Because of that, the processing technology is also widespread, so it is easy to produce parts, and detailed work is also possible.

It's surprising that one model uses materials with so many different characteristics.

As previously introduced, MR-G was double-cured .
This was done by applying a deep layer hardening treatment to pure titanium and applying a surface treatment called DLC on top of that.

MRG-B5000 , as introduced earlier, boasts high hardness, so deep layer hardening is not required. bytes).

MRG-B5000 processing

With this surface treatment, even if the hardness of the surface is the same, the depth of the scratches varies depending on the difference in the substrate (material).
If it is a fine small scratch, it will change depending on the strength of the surface layer of DLC or TIC, but if a strong force is applied, not only the thin layer of 2 or 3 microns on the surface, but also the depth of the scratch will depend on the hardness of the material. is affected. Yes... the MRG-B5000 is stronger!

In addition, it is a radio solar with Bluetooth, which reduces the hassle of battery replacement and time adjustment.


Also change the dedicated application!


And the dedicated application will change from this time.
It will be a common application for Casio products called CASIO WATCHES . Basically the watch functions are the same as before, but you can register your own Casio watch, display it on the timeline like SNS, and see Casio information.

CASIO WATCHES

In the case of MR-G, it seems that the production certificate of the high-end model production line (PPL) produced by Yamagata Casio can also be displayed.

It makes you feel even more special!
(Scheduled to switch to CASIO WATCHES sequentially)

Check out the MRG-B5000 , which is packed with a lot of attention and charm!


MRG-B2000B-1AJR combines strength and gorgeousness



The latest model of the current MR-G is the Katsuiro series.

Among them, the recommended model is this MRG-B2000B-1AJR.

It's a matte black derived from titanium, and the vivid blue looks great, but for me who likes blue, it's a mess.

It is a color that has never been seen before, but the concept color blue is called "Katsuiro".

It is said that since ancient times, it has been favored by samurai warriors as a "winning color" and has been used in armor and armor since ancient times.

The dial uses a traditional Japanese scale pattern, and the index has a gentle curved surface that resembles the curvature of a sword, creating a highly complete design that perfectly harmonizes boldness and simplicity. It is

Among the current MR-G models, it is one of the most popular models. Blue is a color that gives a strong impression of intelligence and freshness, but in the past, people used it as an auspicious color.

It has a dignified and cool finish!
