G-SHOCK MT-G series gets metallic with new carbon fibre watches…
Casio have dropped an all-new G-SHOCK MTGB2000, beefing up its luxury MT-G series with an innovative new carbon fibre-reinforced case. Bulking up the Metal Core Guard Structure used in previous MT-G models, G-SHOCK – which seems to debut a new watch every week – has imbued its latest timepiece with a Dual Core Guard structure that incorporates a carbon fibre-reinforced resin case, designed to leverage both the lightness and superior strength of carbon fibre.
The carbon monocoque case is surrounded by a metal frame, giving the watch a refined metallic look. The MTGB2000D-1A model features a black bezel and dial with a layered-composite band made with a higher proportion of fine resin, paired with metal parts and is about 15 percent lighter than previous models. The MTGB2000B-1A2 features a black dial with blue accents, and a complementary blue bezel with a soft urethane band for optimum fit.
Both models utilise sapphire glass with non-reflective coating to the inner glass for clarity and undergo rough polishing to their bevelled edges for a mirror finish. The watches are the first in the MT-G series to be equipped with three dual coil motors for swift operation of the hands and receive radio wave time-calibration signals to adjust the time when paired with a smartphone using the G-SHOCK Connected App.
G-SHOCK technology is also included, with both models equipped with the following: 200M Water Resistance, Shock Resistance, Triple G Resist, Radio Wave Reception, Tough Solar Power System, Bluetooth low energy, Daily Alarm, Automatic Time Adjustment, Full Auto LED (Super LED), Stopwatch (24Hr), World Time (27 Time Zones, DST), Countdown Timer (24Hr) and Full Auto Calendar.
The MTGB2000B-1A2 will retail for $1,449 and the MTGB2000D-1A will retail for around $1,549 and both will be available for purchase at select G-SHOCK retailers and g-shockaustralia.com.au
