MRGB5000HT-1D: Tradition Meets Timeless Innovation

The G-SHOCK MRGB5000HT-1D is not just a watch — it is a statement of cultural craftsmanship and engineering mastery.

Limited to only 500 pieces worldwide, this rare edition represents the pinnacle of the MR-G line. Inspired by traditional Japanese artistry, its bezel is hand-finished using the “hammer tone” technique known as Tsu-i-ki, executed by master artisan Masao Kobayashi. This centuries-old method gives each surface a unique texture, ensuring no two pieces are ever alike.

Crafted in ultra-tough titanium with a deep black DLC coating and accents of burgundy ion plating, the watch balances heritage design with cutting-edge technology. From solar-powered operation to Bluetooth connectivity, the MRGB5000HT-1D fuses timeless craftsmanship with modern function.

For collectors, this is not simply a timepiece — it is an heirloom.

The bezel and bracelet feature unique relief patterns realized with the traditional tsuiki hammering technique.

Stunning hammertone relief pattern: Achieved with artisanal handcraftsmanship

The bezel and bracelet feature unique relief patterns realized with the traditional tsuiki hammering technique. In the world of tsuiki craftsmanship, the art lies in executing a pattern that is neither too regular, nor too chaotic — finding an organic rhythm that achieves the perfect balance for a unique and artistic finish, no two pieces exactly alike.

Each timepiece is hand-hammered by master tsuiki artisan Kazuya Watanabe, whose “fluctuating” yuragi hammering technique creates a powerful texture that is both impactful and satisfying. His subtle and exacting skill delivers a look and feel that cannot be replicated by machine.

The bezel and bracelet are not only beautifully textured with tsuiki, but also made with DAT55G, a special alloy that is three times harder than pure titanium. This extra-hard metal material is finished with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating for significantly enhanced scratch- and abrasion-resistance.

The intricately shaped case is constructed from 25 separate components.

Iconic form: Heir to the original G-SHOCK spirit

Inheriting the streamlined functional beauty of the very first G-SHOCK that debuted in 1983, the MRG-B5000 is a digital timepiece that achieves high-level integration of toughness and beauty.

The intricately shaped case is constructed from 25 separate components, with individual polishing applied to each component to deliver a sophisticated textural appeal. The watch also employs the Multi-Guard Structure, with various buffers inserted between the bezel components to further enhance strength and shock resistance.
