G-Shock MR-G Baselworld Limited Editions:

2015: The MRG-G1000RT-1A is getting a U.S.A. release in September and according to Casio will be available at select jewelers, the G-Shock website, and the G-Shock Soho Store. The list price is $6,000 making it the most expensive official G-Shock watch ever released for sale. The Yamagata-produced watch is made with the Titanium 64 alloy which is seven times harder than pure titanium.
The MRG-G1000RT-1A is a Baselworld 2015 limited edition and its official American name is (get ready) The G-Shock MR-G GPS Atomic Solar Hybrid Basel Special Limited Edition MRGG1000RT-1A. Some of its unique features include gold accents on the face, gold front screws and crown, a “Japan Blu” DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating on the case and bands, and a recrystalized bezel that is made in the style of the “nie pattern” of Japanese swords.
