- Multiple Components for Meticulous Finishes with Master Polishing 
Craftsmanship

Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today the release of a new addition to the 
MR-G series, the flagship line of the G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches. 
The new MRG-B5000 is the first MR-G timepiece to feature the iconic design of 
the very first G-SHOCK.

With a nod to the design of the DW-5000C, the first-ever G-SHOCK released in 
1983, the MRG-B5000 now brings a brilliant shine and dignified distinction to 
the shock-resistant watch by employing cutting-edge metals finished with master 
polishing craftsmanship. 

In order to apply sophisticated polished finishes to even the tiniest corners 
of the complex bezel form, which is made of 25 different components, Casio 
developed the new Multi-Guard Structure. The new structure incorporates 
shock-absorbent parts in the multi-component bezel to ensure excellent 
shock-resistance, while also allowing polished finishes to be applied to each 
individual component, down to the most challenging spots, for a stunningly 
beautiful finish. The band employs a special structure, as well, with separate 
pins embedded in round holes in each metal link, to allow detailed polishing 
for an equally beautiful finish on the band. 

The quality of the master polishing craftsmanship really shows on the 
cutting-edge, made-in-Japan materials used for the MRG-B5000. COBARION, which 
has a hardness about four times that of pure titanium and a brilliant gleam 
comparable to platinum, is used for the top surface of the bezel. The band is 
made with DAT55G, a titanium alloy that is both about three times harder than 
pure titanium and highly workable, making it scratch-resistant and ensuring a 
long-lasting, beautiful mirror finish.

Masterfully crafted polishing and meticulously selected materials come together 
to create a timepiece worthy of that original design, but with the trademark 
quality of the MR-G line, which stands at the pinnacle of the diverse family of 
G-SHOCK watches.

When it comes to function, the MRG-B5000 features radio-controlled calibration 
and Smartphone Link connectivity. The watch connects with the dedicated CASIO 
WATCHES smartphone app to automatically adjust to the correct time. It also 
comes equipped with a solar charging system and high-brightness LED light for 
added convenience.

As with other MR-G watches, the MRG-B5000 is crafted on the high-end Premium 
Production Line at Yamagata Casio, the "mother factory" of Casio watch 
production.
