G-Shock MR-G Chronograph Watch Black Dial White Rubber Strap, 54.7mm
Dedicated to traditional Japanese artisanal techniques handed down over centuries, this timepiece celebrates samurai warrior pride and aesthetics with a design that incorporates the Shougeki-Maru: Gai, the kabuto helmet Casio commissioned for the MR-G line.
The bezel captures the maedate crest of this very special helmet with a tiger design and rock-grain relief intricately engraved by metalsmith KOBAYASHI Masao. Each limited-edition timepiece is a one-of-a-kind, hand-engraved by a master craftsman.
The pure white Dura Soft fluoro rubber band evokes the look of the white ito odoshi*1 used in crafting traditional Japanese armor. A deep-layer hardening process and dark silver AIP® are applied to the recrystallized titanium case to express the color of the Shougeki-Maru: Gai helmet. An engraved metal plate commemorating the G-SHOCK 40th anniversary on the case side at the 10 o’clock position adds a touch of edgy styling, as do the four lab-grown rubies*2 in the bezel symbolizing 40 years.
More than just an homage to tradition, this timepiece provides superior modern functionality, as well. Equipped with Bluetooth® for smartphone connectivity, the watch adjusts to radio-wave time signals for precision timekeeping and comes packed with handy functions powered by original Casio technology.
This very special, 40th anniversary-worthy MR-G celebrates both the traditional craftsmanship and modern technologies of Japan — all in a singular samurai-inspired timepiece.
*1 White ito odoshi: The white string that binds the plates of the shikoro armor together. The pure white color symbolizes the strong determination of a warrior who stays true to their own convictions, unaffected by others (as in the white undyed by other colors).

Give your watch a quick check on a regular basis, wiping down the face and bracelet with a soft cloth, checking the leather on a strap, and making sure that the strap or bracelet is firmly attached to the watch face. Also, while many watches are water resistant, few are truly waterproof, so if you find that moisture or dust has penetrated the case of your watch, bring it into your local Ben Bridge store where we can have one of our watchmakers clean it out for you.
Our best advice on watch maintenance is to never attempt do-it-yourself repairs, no matter how handy you are or how good the instructions are on Youtube. Watches are super complex little machines and only an expert watchmaker should be trusted to get a watch back into working condition. Attempts by an untrained repair person may seriously damage the watch and can even invalidate factory warranties.
In general, having your watch checked regularly by your Personal Jeweler or watchmaker and serviced according to the manufacturer's guidelines should keep it in excellent shape.
