G Shock Watches From New Zealand Stockist: G Shock MRG-B2000SG-1
Kia ora, G-SHOCK fans! Get ready to celebrate the 40th anniversary in true Kiwi style with a limited-edition MR-G timepiece that's a blend of luxury, tradition, and innovation. This watch is as unique as Aotearoa itself, paying homage to Japanese craftsmanship and samurai spirit.
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the world of the samurai with this extraordinary timepiece, a true masterpiece that marries the age-old traditions of Japanese craftsmanship with cutting-edge modern technology. A tribute to the unwavering spirit of the samurai, this watch is not merely a timekeeping device but a work of art and heritage.
At its heart, this timepiece proudly showcases the Shougeki-Maru: Gai, a kabuto helmet commissioned by Casio for the MR-G line. The intricate design is a testament to the dedication of metalsmith KOBAYASHI Masao, who painstakingly engraved the maedate crest of the helmet, featuring a fierce tiger with a rock-grain relief, onto the bezel. Each timepiece is a unique masterpiece, hand-engraved by a master craftsman, ensuring that no two are alike.
The watch's design doesn't just stop at the bezel; it extends to the pure white Dura Soft fluoro rubber band, which mirrors the white ito odoshi used in traditional Japanese armor. This pure white color symbolizes the unwavering determination of a warrior who stays true to their convictions, unswayed by external influences.
The case of the watch, forged from recrystallized titanium, is subjected to a deep-layer hardening process and finished in dark silver AIP®, perfectly capturing the color and essence of the Shougeki-Maru: Gai helmet. An engraved metal plate commemorating the G-SHOCK 40th anniversary at the 10 o'clock position adds a touch of contemporary style, while the four lab-grown rubies in the bezel, chosen for their ethical considerations, symbolize 40 years of triumph and victory, echoing the ancient belief in rubies as the "stone of victory."
But this timepiece is not merely an homage to tradition; it's a fusion of the past and the present. Equipped with Bluetooth® for smartphone connectivity, it adjusts to radio-wave time signals for impeccable timekeeping and is brimming with innovative features powered by Casio's original technology.
In its essence, this MR-G timepiece is a celebration of Japan's rich heritage and cutting-edge technological prowess. It's a unique and symbolic tribute to the samurai spirit, encapsulating centuries of tradition within a modern, functional masterpiece.This timepiece is a testament to the enduring legacy of the samurai and the innovation of modern Japan.
