Casio to Release MR-G Inspired by the Brilliant Gleam of Japanese Katana Swords

The distinctive shock-resistant MRG-B2000JS design is based on the Juryoku-Maru: San motif, evoking its extraordinary shape and expressing the traditional techniques and aesthetics unique to Japanese katana swords. The recrystallized hybrid titanium bezel with its unique temper pattern is made in layers of Ti64 and pure titanium that are subjected to high-temperature, high-pressure compression. This material is then cut, polished, and recrystallized to replicate the beautiful blade pattern of the Juryoku-Maru: San. The band is textured with the aogai blue shell lacquer used on the sword's scabbard. Micro-level processing of DAT55G,² a metal alloy three times harder than pure titanium, produces microstructures on the metal surfaces that reflect light to create magnificent colors that change depending on the viewing angle.

Using the same technique as in swordsmithing, master swordsmith Kamiyama has hand-engraved the inscription of 燦, the Japanese kanji character for San, on each individual timepiece, giving each its own unique look.
