Due to arrive in New Zealand in April are two new MRG G-Shock models. Designated MRG-B2000R-1A and MRG-B2000B-1A. These watches feature a navy blue accent colour that is inspired by the traditional Japanese “kachi-iro” colour symbolising victory. The colour was often used by samurai warriors on their armour and helmets. The MR-G series is made in Japan at the Premium Production Line in the Yamagato Casio factory.

Both models are made of titanium with a deep layer hardening and a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating for superior protection against scratches. They also have sapphire glass with a non-reflective coating, Tough Solar power, Multi-Band-6 automatic radio time adjustment, and Bluetooth smartphone link. (The watches can be set up and operated without using Bluetooth at all.). RRP $4999
