Bangkok--19 Mar--Spark Communications
The wait is over. Casio Computer Co., Ltd announced the release of its three new master shock-resistant timepieces for 2020, featuring: MRG-B2000SH, MTG-B1000VL, and GMW-B5000CS.
MRG-B2000SH
Kicking off in grand style with the release of G-SHOCK’s newest addition to the flagship MR-G Series, featuring MRG-B2000SH that is inspired by Shougeki-Maru, an original kabuto (helmet) worn by Japanese samurais on battle that symbolizes their strong convictions and toughness.
The watch reflects ultimate craftsmanship that is synonymous with the MR-G serie’s pursuit of excellence, featuring touches by two master 'artists’ in their own rights. Each surface of the bezel was hand carved with the image of a dragon climbing to the heavens by Masao Kobayashi, a metalsmith highly skilled in the technique of chasing. The aged feel was reproduced by using special dies based on the sand dies by casting artisan Masanao Kikuchi. Additionally, the bezel and band are finished with layers of brown and blue ion plating (IP), to create the rugged look of rusted steel and the look of the navy-blue overlaying plates of amor bound together with navy blue string, used respectively in the kabuto.
In terms of functions, the MRG-B2000SH pairs with a smartphone using Bluetooth(R) and receives radio wave time-calibration signals, automatically correcting the time upon arriving in a different time zone without having to operate the buttons. The watch delivers both advanced technology and master craftsmanship, making it a truly special collectors’ timepiece.
Only 400 of these watches will be available worldwide, with its official premiere in Thailand in August 2020.
MTG-B1000VL
Moving on the MTG series, that is known for the combination of metal and resin with the release of MTG-B1000VL that boasts a striking multi-colored design that represents volcanic lighting.
The MTG-B1000VL reproduces the frightening yet beautiful blue, purple, and gold colors of the lightning caused by a volcanic eruption, with a rainbow ion-plated bezel and a multi-colored dial. The rainbow-colored bezel finished with ion plating is overlaid with the image of the rare atmospheric phenomenon of volcanic lightning, which produces subtle differences in coloring that allow each wearer to enjoy their own unique glow. The MTG-B1000VL is also the first MT-G series model to use a semi-translucent red soft urethane material for the band, as a representation of the bubbling magma and aggression of the erupting volcano that renders a distinct image of power on the wrist.
The base model for the watch is the MTG-B1000, that delivers toughness in a compact case by employing a Core Guard Structure that is both tough and light, linking the bezel and back cover with planar parts. The MTG-B1000VL offers a special combination of advanced features like smartphone connectivity, solar-powered and radio control with an inventive design. The watch is set to premiere in Thailand in July, 2020.
GMW-B5000CS
Last but not least is the new GMW-B5000CS edition, that comes with a newaddition of full metal construction that features a fine laser-carved griddesign and further evolution in functionality.
