With just 110 units available in the US, this exclusive timepiece is a rare collaboration between Casio and master artisans Teruhira Kamiyama and Nomura Mamoru, each celebrated for their exceptional craftsmanship in their respective fields.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MRGB2000JS1A showcases a range of premium materials and intricate design elements. The timepiece is constructed from recrystallized hybrid titanium with deep-layer hardening and&nbsp;Diamond-Like Carbon&nbsp;coating, ensuring exceptional strength and beauty. The dial features a &#8220;Tsukamaki&#8221; pattern, inspired by the traditional wrapping of a Japanese Katana sword handle, complemented by a mother-of-pearl in-dial to add a refined touch. The case is finished in a striking blue AIP with an &#8220;Ao Gai Nuri&#8221; texture, while the bracelet band, featured an ogai-nuri blue shell lacquer design &nbsp;to reveal a unique sparkle under UV light, completes the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The design of the MRGB2000JS1A is the result of a remarkable collaboration between Casio and two celebrated Japanese artisans. Teruhira Kamiyama, a rising star in modern Japanese swordsmithing, is renowned for his award-winning craftsmanship, including receiving the Chairman&#8217;s Award in the Sword Making Section at the 2023 Craftsmen&#8217;s Competition in&nbsp;Japan. His contributions to the MRGB2000JS1A include the intricate blade pattern and the special engraving &#8220;San,&#8221; which pays homage to the artistry of traditional sword-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mamoru Nomura, a &#8220;Traditional Master Craftsman&#8221; certified by the Japanese government in 2001, brings his expertise in the ancient &#8220;Raden&#8221; technique to the design. This delicate lacquer craft, using blue shellfish, is reflected in the intricate detailing that adorns the timepiece, highlighting the centuries-old traditions that influence its creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The timepiece is equipped with G-SHOCK&#8217;s innovative technology including:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shock-Resistant structure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Magnetic Resistant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>200M\u00a0Water Resistant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tough Solar power<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bluetooth Smartphone Link<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dual Time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\/1-Sec Chronograph<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Auto hand home position correction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LED light (Super Illuminator)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Date display and day indicator<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4326221-1&amp;h=321334571&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.casio.com%2Fus%2Fwatches%2Fgshock%2Fproduct.MRG-B2000JS-1A%2F&amp;a=MRGB2000JS1A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MRGB2000JS1A<\/a>\u00a0will be available for purchase for\u00a0$8,000\u00a0at select jewelers, G-SHOCK.com, and the G-SHOCK Soho store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With just 110 units available in the US, this exclusive timepiece is a rare collaboration between Casio and master artisans Teruhira Kamiyama and Nomura Mamoru, each celebrated for their exceptional craftsmanship in their respective fields.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":67789,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2928,2929],"class_list":["post-67783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mobile-products","tag-g-shock","tag-watch"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67783"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67783\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67794,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67783\/revisions\/67794"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
