G-SHOCK’s Latest Addition to the MR-G Line is its Most Impressive Yet
Just in time for the holidays, G-SHOCK has released the MRGG2000R, the first G-SHOCK to utilize an innovative screw-locking mechanism and the first with a Dura Soft Fluoro-Rubber Band. Over the past few years, the MR-G collection has evolved into one of the brand’s most interesting collections, with a large amount of focus put on high-concept innovation using only the highest quality materials.
The Dura Soft Fluoro-Rubber Band is a prime example of this, with its supple resin material that is textured with a traditional Japanese Bishamon Kikko pattern, that combines hexagonal shapes into groups of three. For centuries, this pattern has been used on the armor worn by Bishamonten, a Japanese warrior that symbolizes strength in battle.

Based on an L/R bolt, with two nuts that lock together and spin in opposite directions, L/R-?Loc was newly developed for watches as a revolutionary mechanism that prevents loosening due to vibration and other forces.
The new deployant clasp is machined out of titanium and, along with the bezel, is coated with DLC to increase abrasion resistance. All titanium parts are also subjected to a deep-layer hardening process, which makes their surfaces four to five times harder than plain titanium. The tit...
