G-Shock MRG-B5000BA-1: A peak square inspired by blue ink

G-Shock MRG-B5000BA-1 Display

Coming in June, the G-Shock MRG-B5000BA-1 is the first MRG-B5000 model to follow the two debut models of the peak origin series. The blue face and accents on the bezel and band parts are inspired by the blue ink used in traditional Japanese ink wash painting and calligraphy. The blue face is created with a vapor deposition, giving it a metallic appearance. The blue parts of the bezel and band pins are created with a blue ion plating over DLC-coated parts. The black bezel and band is the result of a DLC processing. The watch is the first MRG-B5000 model with an inverted LCD display.
