G-SHOCK MRGB2100B-1A

The first watch in the popular 2100 line to be included in the flagship Casio G-SHOCK MR-G family, the titanium MRG-B2100B-1A watch takes inspiration from kigumi—the ancient Japanese art of interconnected wooden construction without the use of nails—by utilizing this design inspiration for more than just style. True to the ancient art, form meets function: Casio designed this titanium watch with 27 separate components in the bezel alone, inserting buffering materials between the components as part of the tough Multi-Guard Structure. The hour indices are formed by two watch face components, adding further sophistication to honor the ancient Japanese art. Precision excellence in design, beauty, and materials, the G-SHOCK MRG-B2100B-1A titanium watch is a study in watch making. Elegance and sophistication are the hallmarks of the mirror-finish black sheen and the kigumi-inspired latticework design of the face and construction of the bezel and indices. That elegance and sophistication are complemented by legendary G-SHOCK toughness with the boost of titanium metals, including the titanium alloy Ti64, an alloy used in the aerospace industry and for biomedical applications. Precision, toughness, and beauty are the guiding design factors for the G-SHOCK MR-G family of flagship watches, and the attention to detail behind the design and construction of the MRG-B2100B-1A titanium watch ups the ante for the MR-G line. The top of the bezel is made of Cobarion®, a titanium alloy four times harder than pure titanium that also offers a white gleam like that of platinum. The watch band is fashioned from DAT55G, a super-hard titanium alloy that offers excellent processability, ensuring a comfortable fit. Scratch resistance is a core component of Casio’s titanium watches. Diamond-like carbon coating enshrouds the titanium, and the sapphire crystal glass ensures the MRG-B2100B-1A titanium watch is scratch resistant to the highest levels of modern technology and design. The coatings are hand finished by master artisans, giving an artful and precise completion to a titanium watch inspired by an ancient Japanese art of craftsmanship and beauty. The design and style may be influenced by an ancient artform, but the technology is wholly modern. The G-SHOCK MRG-B2100B-1A titanium watch is calibrated daily by a radio signal or through Bluetooth® connectivity, ensuring accurate timekeeping. Add in Tough Solar power charging and both magnetic resistance and 200m water resistance (wr 20 bar), and this titanium G-SHOCK watch is as reliable as a sunrise. Returns will only be accepted if product is in original packaging and protectant film is in place.of-the-art metals and exquisite traditional Japanese finishes. The dial is inspired by the traditional Japanese art of interlocking woodwork called kigumi. This traditional art is reflected in the intricately assembled two-part structure of the indexes and the depth and dimension of the latticework on the dial. The tiny openings in the dial — the result of the highest precision process technology — let plenty of light through to the solar panels beneath to keep you up to speed. Inspired by traditional Japanese ink wash painting and calligraphy done in deep blue ao-zumi ink, the MRG-B2100R features a dial treated to a deep blue vapor deposition finish and accented with a touch of gold color on the seconds hand. Bezel components on the four corners are ion-plated in navy blue against a base of black diamond-like carbon coating. Similar to the intricate kigumi technique, the MRG-B2100 bezel interlocks 27 different components to produce a sophisticated, uniquely G-SHOCK shock-resistance construction — each one is individually and meticulously polished for a stunningly detailed textural appearance. The state-of-the-art Multi-Guard Structure incorporates buffers between the parts to ensuring outstanding shock absorption to protect the dedicated MR-G module with a gold-plated retainer plate. The top bezel is made with COBARION®, an alloy boasting a hardness about four times that of pure titanium and a brilliant gleam comparable to platinum. The fluoro rubber band delivers exceptional comfort, with titanium components insert-molded where the band connects to the case for even greater toughness. The band’s top surface features a design motif incorporating “SHOCK RESIST” symbols, while the underside is textured in a brick pattern. This masterpiece is more than just a splendid celebration of premium metals and traditional craftsmanship. It delivers outstanding functionality, as well, with radio-controlled calibration and smartphone pairing via Bluetooth®.
