There are watches that have changed history and others that represent its most refined evolution. The G-SHOCK MR-G B5000 collection belongs to the latter category, reinterpreting the celebrated design of the first G-SHOCK from 1983 through exclusive materials, Japanese craftsmanship, and cutting-edge technologies.
The B5000 series is not just a "premium" version of the historic square case: it is the ultimate expression of the MR-G philosophy, the line that represents the absolute pinnacle of G-SHOCK production, where every component is re-imagined without compromise.

The DNA of the first G-SHOCK, elevated to excellence
At first glance, the reference to the legendary DW-5000C is immediate. The case proportions, digital display, and square lines remain faithful to the original model designed by Kikuo Ibe, but everything else is completely re-engineered.
Every element of the structure is born with a precise objective: to improve robustness, comfort, and perceived quality, while maintaining the concept of extreme resistance that has made G-SHOCK a global icon.
Titanium, Cobarion, and high-end watchmaking materials
The difference between a normal G-SHOCK and an MR-G is most evident in the choice of materials.
The case is made of Ti64 titanium alloy, valued for its high strength-to-weight ratio. The bracelet, on the other hand, uses DAT55G, a special titanium alloy that is even harder and more wear-resistant, developed to ensure durability and comfort over time.
The bezel is constructed from COBARION®, a super-hard alloy with a brilliance comparable to platinum and significantly superior scratch resistance compared to traditional steel.
Completing the protection is the DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, which further increases surface hardness, preserving the watch's appearance even after years of use.
A construction designed down to the smallest detail
The quality of the MR-G series does not depend solely on the materials.
The case structure is composed of numerous separate elements, assembled with extreme precision to improve shock absorption. Inside is the αGEL system, a shock-absorbing material that protects the electronic module from vibrations and intense impacts.
The sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating ensures high scratch resistance and impeccable readability in any light condition.
It is a constructive philosophy that closely echoes that of high-end Japanese watchmaking, where every component plays a precise function and contributes to the overall quality of the product.
Technology without compromise
Behind the classic aesthetic of the square case lies one of the most advanced digital modules ever developed by Casio.
The MR-G B5000 series integrates Tough Solar charging, Multiband 6 radio control for automatic time synchronization, and Bluetooth® connectivity with smartphones via the CASIO WATCHES app.
Through the phone connection, settings can be easily managed, time synchronized, the "Find Phone" function used, and the watch's main functions accessed with extreme simplicity.
It also includes a stopwatch, timer, five alarms, automatic calendar, world time, and water resistance up to 20 bar, features that make the MR-G B5000 a true professional instrument as well as a luxury item.
A collection for those who seek the best
The MR-G B5000 family offers various interpretations of the celebrated square case.
It ranges from elegant natural titanium versions to models with black DLC treatment, not forgetting exclusive limited editions that introduce chromatic details and dedicated finishes. Each variant maintains the same construction philosophy and the same level of quality, allowing enthusiasts to choose the style that best represents their personality.
The pinnacle of G-SHOCK philosophy
Since 1983, G-SHOCK has revolutionized the concept of a tough watch. With the MR-G B5000 collection, Casio demonstrates that this idea can be reinterpreted without losing its identity.
Sophisticated materials, Japanese craftsmanship, advanced technologies, and a design that has spanned over forty years of history make this collection the meeting point between innovation and tradition.
The result is a G-SHOCK that retains all the character of the original, but takes it to a completely new dimension, where robustness, exclusivity, and craftsmanship coexist in perfect balance.
