The G-SHOCK MRGB5000 timepiece is being launched by the brand to pay homage to its first model that was released nearly 40-years ago and offer discerning wearers with a way to enhance their style with retro aesthetics.
The watch comes in the form of the MRGB5000B-1 and the MRGB5000D-1, which are both constructed with metal components that help to offer elevation over the original model. The bezels on the timepieces are crafted with COBARION, which is rated to be four-times harder than titanium and will even shine as brightly as platinum to boot.
The G-SHOCK MRGB5000 timepiece is priced starting at $3,500 and is available now to preorder from the brand's website for vintage-loving consumers to stake their claim now for one of their own.
