Casio G-Shock Kurogane-Iro: Honoring the Warriors
The MRG-B2000BG-3A and MRG-B2000RG-3A are clad in the traditional hue of Kurogane-iro, a deep blue-green shade symbolic of forged Japanese iron armor. Using green DLC coating and a deep-layer hardening process on pure titanium, these models offer unmatched durability and a commanding presence. The design echoes samurai aesthetics, with gold ion-plated screws and crowns reminiscent of ornamental armor detail.
Dura Soft Band and Recrystallized Titanium: The MRG-B2000RG-3A
The MRG-B2000RG-3A integrates a recrystallized titanium bezel to mimic the nie crystals of Japanese swords. Coupled with a bishamon kikko-patterned fluoro rubber band, this model balances strength and spiritual symbolism, aligning with Bishamonten, the deity of warriors.
A Dial Inspired by Japanese Tradition
Every MR-G dial incorporates rich Japanese symbolism. The tortoiseshell pattern represents longevity and luck, while folding fan motifs express elegance. The indexes mirror the gentle curves of katana blades, crafted using Yamagata Casio’s fine-processing techniques.
Casio G-Shock MRG-BF1000 FROGMAN: Dive Into the Abyss with Precision
Engineered for the deep sea, the MRG-BF1000RG and MRG-BF1000R meet ISO 200-meter water resistance standards. The full-metal body crafted from titanium houses over 70 meticulously polished components, forming a compact yet powerful diver’s watch. A screw-lock case back, fluoro rubber buffers, and DLC-treated surfaces ensure exceptional strength.

In Dive Mode, the hands rotate to display dive time and surface interval. Tide Graph Mode helps divers track water levels at over 3,000 locations via the CASIO WATCHES app. The red vapor deposition accents and engraved FROGMAN logos further enhance its underwater credibility.
MRG-B2100R-2A: Serenity Meets Strength in Ao-Zumi
Inspired by Zen ink-wash paintings, the MRG-B2100R introduces the calming hue of Ao-Zumi. With a COBARION® bezel and Ti64 titanium case, this model reflects tranquility and strength. The Dura Soft band is not just comfortable but resilient, with titanium inserts for longevity. A kigumi-inspired dial allows solar light to penetrate, keeping the battery charged while echoing traditional Japanese joinery.
Casio G-Shock MRG-B2000JS-1A: Katana in Timepiece Form
A tribute to the Juryoku-Maru: San, a katana forged by swordsmith Kamiyama Teruhira, the MRG-B2000JS embodies samurai strength. Its recrystallized titanium bezel mimics the blade’s pattern. The aogai shell lacquer band, developed using traditional raden techniques by Nomura Mamoru, glistens with iridescent blues. A unique character, “燠” (San), is hand-engraved on the case back.
Casio G-Shock MRG-B2100D-1A: Full-Metal Majesty in Silver
This is the first time silver is used in the MR-G 2100 series. With a multi-component bezel crafted from COBARION and DAT55G, the MRG-B2100D showcases Sallaz-polished mirror finishes and abrasion-resistant coatings. The intricate kigumi dial pattern echoes the mastery of Japanese carpentry.
Casio G-Shock MRG-B2100B: Refined Artisanal Finishing
Constructed from 27 separate bezel parts, the MRG-B2100B-1A is polished to perfection before assembly.
