G-SHOCK MRG-B2100D-2ADR: Hanada-Iro Blue Meets Kigumi Craftsmanship

The G-SHOCK MRG-B2100D-2ADR, unveiled as the first MR-G innovation of 2026, elevates the premium line with a harmonious blend of elegance, traditional Japanese artistry, and advanced technology. This timepiece showcases a striking Hanada-Iro blue dial—a color steeped in historical significance—and a meticulously crafted metal case, reflecting the pinnacle of G-SHOCK's design philosophy.

Dial Inspired by Kigumi

The centerpiece of the MRG-B2100D-2ADR is its three-dimensional dial, featuring a lattice-like structure inspired by Kigumi, a traditional Japanese woodworking technique that joins pieces without nails or metal fasteners. The delicate geometric patterns, with wave-like ridges and precisely cut openings, echo the functional beauty of this centuries-old craft. The Hanada-Iro blue shifts in hue depending on light and viewing angle, evoking the atmospheric transition from dawn to early morning. This design draws inspiration from the mystical silhouette of a five-story pagoda, a national treasure often seen in the morning mist of Yamagata Prefecture—the very birthplace of MR-G watches. The dial's fine openings not only enhance its aesthetic but also allow light to reach the solar cell, ensuring efficient energy generation for reliable operation.

Multi-Component Case: Craftsmanship Meets High-Tech

The case and bezel are constructed from 27 individually machined parts, each meticulously polished before assembly. This multi-component approach merges traditional Japanese craftsmanship with state-of-the-art manufacturing, giving the watch exceptional depth and presence. Following the iconic 2100 design, the case is made of titanium with a steel-like precious metal finish, coated with titanium carbide for outstanding durability. This construction upholds G-SHOCK's reputation for toughness while offering a refined aesthetic.

DAT55G Bracelet: Robustness at Its Finest

The bracelet is crafted from DAT55G, a special titanium alloy with a hardness approximately three times that of pure titanium. This material provides exceptional scratch resistance and durability while remaining lightweight and comfortable for daily wear. The sophisticated metal appearance is paired with the legendary robustness of G-SHOCK, perfectly meeting the exacting standards of the MR-G line.

Intelligent Functions for Global Precision

Technologically, the MRG-B2100D-2ADR is a leader. It pairs with a smartphone via Bluetooth® and automatically connects to internet time servers. Daylight saving time, time zones, and the time are updated automatically, ensuring absolute precision worldwide at all times—reliably and hands-free.

Availability and Price

The MRG-B2100D-2ADR is scheduled for release on February 10, 2026, with a recommended retail price of €4,200. It will be available online at casio.com and through selected authorized retailers.

G-SHOCK: A Legacy of Indestructibility

G-SHOCK was born from the vision of creating an almost indestructible watch. This ambition was realized in the famous “Triple 10 Concept”: shock resistance from a 10-meter fall, water resistance to 10 bar, and a 10-year battery life. Since its debut in 1983, this principle has been continuously refined. Today, G-SHOCK is a global icon in fashion, sports, and music, celebrated for its functional design.

MR-G: The Pinnacle of Japanese Watchmaking

MR-G represents the apex of G-SHOCK, combining Japanese craftsmanship with modern technology. Each watch is manufactured at the Yamagata Factory, where traditional mastery meets sophisticated processing. Every MR-G timepiece embodies uncompromising perfectionism, precision, and passion—values that resonate globally with watch enthusiasts.

The MRG-B2100D-2ADR is not just a watch; it is a wearable piece of art that honors Japanese heritage while pushing the boundaries of modern horology. For collectors seeking a fusion of tradition, innovation, and durability, this model stands as a testament to G-SHOCK's enduring legacy.
