The latest addition to the brand’s flagship MR-G series, the new Casio G-Shock MRG-G2000HT watch features a unique handmade texture using tsuiki, a traditional Japanese metal-hammering technique. Casio partnered with Bihou Asano, a third-generation master artisan of the tsuiki technique, who applied onto the bezel and center row of the band a mist-like pattern known as kasumi-tsuchime, as well as an indigo “Japan blue” shade using a diamond-like carbon finish. On the performance front, the MRG-G2000HT utilizes the Connected Engine 3-Way module, which keeps accurate time anywhere in the world through radio waves, GPS satellite time calibration signals and connections to time servers by pairing with a smartphone. Retailing for $7,400, the watch will be available in stores in September 2017.
