Casio Computer Co. Ltd. announced the release of a new addition to the MR-G line, the of the G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches. The new MRG-B5000R inherits the iconic shape of the very first G-SHOCK -- representing the brand's point of origin -- and features a highly comfortable Dura Soft band.

Based on the concept of delivering "the ultimate in toughness-driven watches," the MR-G line sits at theinnacle of the G-SHOCK brands, incorporating technology and master metalworking techniques. Inheriting the iconic form of the original G-SHOCK, the original MRG-B5000 was released in 2022. Featuring azel with the Multi-Guard Structure to enable precision polishing, the watch employed cutting-edge materials including COBARION®?, a super-hard alloy, finished with master polishing craftsmanship.

With features such as these, it has proven very popular as the model of the G-SHOCKbrand brand. The new MRG- B5000R builds on the MRG-B5000, employing a soft, comfortable Dura Soft band to offer flexible ease of use befitting the line of the G-SHOCK®? brand and deliver suitability for both formal occasions and active situations.

The Dura Soft band offers strong resistance to discoloration, staining, and deterioration over time, while insert-molding of titanium components also enhances the strength of the band's connection to the case. The band features a soft, comfortable textural feel, offering a snug fit even when engaging in rigorous activities. The watch design is an homage to the color scheme of the DW-5000C-1B, the gold-accented version of the very first G- SHOCK.

A diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating is applied to the case and a gold IP finish to the side tons. The face features gold accents as well. The band incorporates textured patterns inheriting design motors still going strong since the very first G-SH stock, including "SHOCK RESIST" symbols and the brick pattern.
