Casio outdoes itself this time. The Casio G-Shock MRG-B5000HT features a hand-forged case using the traditional Japanese tsuiki method, DAT55G titanium, DLC coating, Tough Solar, Multi-Band 6, Bluetooth and sapphire crystal. Only 500 pieces worldwide. The official price in Europe will be around €7,300–7,500.
Reviving the 1983 challenge and the original square shape, G-SHOCK continues the story with the Casio G-Shock MRG-B5000HT – a model that combines technological precision and traditional Japanese artistry. The aesthetics of the original are elevated here with technique, hand forging and exclusivity – a very limited edition of only 500 pieces.
Hand-forged tsuiki & master Kazuya Watanabe
The case and bracelet are hand-forged using the tsuiki method, where master craftsman Kazuya Watanabe uses the “yuragi” technique (irregular, wavy hammering), ensuring the unique texture of each piece. No two watches are the same.
Materials and protection: Casio G-Shock MRG-B5000HT
The DAT55G titanium used is a special alloy, three times harder than pure titanium, extremely durable and suitable for hand shaping. The surface is protected with DLC (diamond-like carbon) technology, which ensures scratch resistance and a special glossy color of the bezels (dressed in a silver-gray tone) with copper accents on the buttons and screws.
Interior: G‑SHOCK MR‑G high-tech package
Beneath the artistic exterior lies the familiar MR‑G power:
- Tough Solar Power Supply
- Atomic Multi-Band 6 time synchronization
- Bluetooth connectivity for automatic setup
- Sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating
- Waterproof up to 200 m
It all combines technology and handcraft in one sophisticated case.
