The new model draws inspiration from kigumi, the ancient Japanese woodworking technique of joinery without metal fasteners. Metal leaf artist Hiroto Rakusho collaborated on the design, applying powdered platinum to the latticework dial to ensure each piece possesses unique character. The theme of haruka, or eternity, serves as the conceptual foundation for the release, aiming to reflect strength that persists through time.

Casio Unveils Limited-Edition MRG-B2100HR for 30th Anniversary
To mark three decades of its flagship G-SHOCK line, Casio is releasing the MRG-B2100HR, a timepiece limited to 800 units globally. The watch blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with advanced engineering, featuring a dial adorned in hand-applied platinum leaf and a bezel crafted through precision structural color technology.
Technological innovation complements this craftsmanship. Casio utilizes ultrashort-pulse lasers to generate structural color on the bezel and bracelet, creating iridescent effects that shift depending on the viewing angle. The watch is built on the MRG-B2100 octagonal architecture, using high-durability alloys to maintain the brand's signature shock resistance. The bezel consists of 27 individual components, each hand-polished before assembly, while the bracelet and casing incorporate COBARION and DAT55G alloys to balance refined aesthetics with industrial toughness.
