The MR-G is the top-of-the-range series of G-SHOCK watches, meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail using cutting-edge technology and expert metalworking techniques under the concept of ‘the ultimate toughness watch’.

This time, an original Japanese sword ‘Gravity Maru – San’ was specially created by superimposing the appearance of the ‘MR-G’ on the ‘Japanese sword’, which combines strength and functional beauty. Sword master Teruhei Kamiyama created the sword blade, while traditional craftsman Mamoru Nomura created the blue shell*1 sheath.
