G-Shock watches are loved for their durability and robust construction, but there is another quality that makes them stand out: they come in seemingly endless models and colors to choose from. G-Shock's latest update to its MT-G series, the limited edition MTGB2000XMG1, further promotes the envelope: the complex layering process creates a carbon fiber bezel with bright, gorgeous colors. Even better, each watch has its own unique color pattern, and no two are the same.
To make each bezel, colored glass fibers and carbon fibers are layered in random order to form a thick piece of material. From there, individual watch bezels are carved out of the block, creating intricate color patterns on each bezel, and then the bezels are laminated together to form a bright, eye-catching finish. In order to complement the bezel, G-Shock uses multi-color ion plating on the rest of the watch, including the rainbow pattern on the inner edge of the bezel, the rose gold on the buckle and strap ring, and the light blue and light blue on the screws and buttons. Purple, and crown. The dial also has light blue hour markers, orange hands, and purple and red decorations on the sub-dial.
On paper, all these colors may sound like a mess, but in an actual watch, they combine to form a fashionable, psychedelic pattern that matches well with your favorite tie-dye T-shirt. (Solemnly declare that G-Shock stated that the design was inspired by the color of the red rock canyon wall).
The puzzling colors are not the only selling point of this watch. Like any timepiece with the G-Shock name, it is made very sturdy. The hard-shell carbon fiber case provides strong protection for the inside of the watch without having to bear heavy metal weight. The sapphire glass on the dial prevents scratches and has an anti-reflective coating to provide excellent clarity. Of course, it also has the characteristics of earthquake resistance and waterproof depth of up to 200 meters. It may look like a performance work, but it is also ready to be soiled.
It's also smart: you can pair it with your phone (via Bluetooth) to customize its functions, it has a built-in solar battery to extend battery life, and has G-Shock's multi-band 6 atomic timekeeping function, it uses radio signals No matter where you are, you can update your watch and ensure that the time is accurate. Although the aesthetics may take some time to adapt, in essence, the design of this watch is reliable and easy to use. In other words, it is colorful and powerful-exactly how we like them.
MTGB2000XMG1 will be available at designated G-Shock retailers and online in December.
