MR-G 2021: MRG-B1000BA-1A, MRG-B2000B-1A, MRG-B2000R-1A

G-Shock announced three new models for the top-of-the-line MR-G series for February 2021 in Asia: the MRG-B1000BA-1A, MRG-B2000B-1A, and MRG-B2000R-1A. These watches feature a navy blue accent color that is inspired by the traditional Japanese “kachi-iro” color symbolizing victory. The color was often used by samurai warriors on their armor and helmets. The MR-G series is made in Japan at the Premium Production Line in the Yamagato Casio factory.

All three models are made of titanium with a deep layer hardening and a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating for superior protection against scratches. All three also have sapphire glass with a non-reflective coating, Tough Solar power, Multi-Band-6 automatic radio time adjustment, and Bluetooth smartphone link. (The watches can be set up and operated without using Bluetooth at all.)

Update: G-Shock U.K. is now selling the MRG-B2000B-1ADR and MRG-B2000R-1ADR for £2,500 each at g-shock.co.uk (with very limited availability).

Update 2: Reeds Jewelers is now accepting pre-orders for the MRGB2000B-1A and MRGB2000R-1A in the U.S. for $3,000 each. The watches will also be available for pre-order at Gshock.com on March 5.
