Casio MR-G MRGB2000SG-1A

Recrystalised Titanium, Hand Engraved, 49.8mm CASIO MR-G Shiroito-Odoshi Limited 40th Anniversary Wristwatch, circa 2023

Description: Celebrating four decades of G-Shock innovation, the MR-G Shiroito-Odoshi Limited Edition stands as a masterpiece where cutting-edge technology meets exquisite traditional Japanese artistry. Crafted with meticulous precision, this timepiece honours the ancient samurai spirit through its remarkable use of hand-engraving and advanced materials. At the heart of its aesthetic lies in a hand-engraved bezel, meticulously crafted by master metalsmith KOBAYASHI Masao, whose artistry breathes life into the fierce tiger motif inspired by the maedate crest of the Shougeki-Maru, Gai helmet. Each engraving is a unique expression, shaped by the skilled hand of the craftsman, ensuring that no two watches share the same character or soul. The case itself is forged from recrystallized titanium, a process that enhances durability and imparts a shimmering depth reminiscent of samurai armour’s layered textures. This base is then treated with a dark silver AIP® (Amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, four lab-grown rubies are embedded around the bezel, symbolising 40 years of G-Shock’s relentless pursuit of resilience and innovation. The pristine white fluoro rubber band contrasts strikingly with the darkened case, echoing the “Shiroito-Odoshi” white lacing technique that once bound the layers of samurai armour together.
