Pre-Basel: Casio G-Shock MR-G Baselworld Special MRG-G1000RT
The next evolution of G-Shock is here! Arizona Fine Time is proud to share a quick look at the new MRG-G1000RT, an introduction for Baselworld 2015 that is going to change the way you look at G-Shock forever. Casio has gone to a new extreme in toughness, launching a new titanium alloy known as Titanium 64. This new product is not only strong, but stronger then the previous titanium used. Ti64 is a type of alloy made from 90% titanium, 6% aluminum, and 4% vanadium and is nearly 7 times harder then pure titanium. The new MRG-G1000RT's bezel undergoes a treatment at high temperatures giving it a crystallized presence, but also gives it a distinctive glow or reflection in dark situations. A similar process is used for katana blades, which helped inspire the new MR-G.
Using a deep blue DLC treatment to the titanium for the case and bracelet, the new MR-G Baselworld Special GPS Hybrid Wave Ceptor will be extremely limited at 100 pieces globally and feature some yellow gold accents and symbolizes the spirit of "Made In Japan". The MRG-G1000RT is estimated to retail around $6,000. A new level of the premium G-Shock has arrived!
