Casio's Newest G-SHOCK Watch Celebrates the Year of the Tiger
Colin Smith — January 17, 2022 — Fashion
Casio has unveiled a new collaborative watch made with Chinese graffiti artist Hou Shanzhao, the 'MTG-B1000CX-4AER.' This timepiece features a tiger fur pattern and a warm tiger-inspired colorway. The dial of the watch features golden hands, a black tiger-camouflage backplate, and bold red hour markers.
The bezel of the watch is adorned in a gold and black tiger-inspired pattern that has been engraved through a laser peeling process. The wrist strap features the same bold red as the hour markers, making the entire watch a bold, fiery, tiger-inspired statement.
On top of being fashionable, this timepiece boasts Bluetooth connectivity, solar power, and a scratch-resistant glass plate. The mechanisms within the watch are based on Casio's 'Metal Twisted G-Shock' model, making it quite similar with the exception of its design and limited release.
This timepiece retails for $1,370 USD and will be distributed via G-SHOCK's online store.
