Casio has launched its latest G-Shock model, the MTG-B4000B-1A, in the United States.
The watch is priced at $1,500 and arrives after its initial debut in Japan last month.
Design and Construction
The MTG-B4000B-1A features an updated Dual Core Guard structure made from laminated carbon, glass fiber sheets, and stainless steel.
Casio used a collaborative workflow involving human designers, AI stress simulations, and engineers to optimize impact resistance.
The watch has a dual-layer stainless steel bezel with a black ion-plated finish, combining brushed and mirror surfaces.
The case back is produced via metal injection molding, enabling complex shapes.
The black carbon frame is accented with red dial details and paired with a soft urethane band.
Dimensions are 56.6 by 45.3 by 14.4 mm, and the weight is 112 grams.
It carries Casio's Triple G Resist rating, protecting against mechanical shock, centrifugal force, and heavy vibration.
The sapphire crystal has an anti-reflective coating, and water resistance is rated at 200 meters.
Features and Availability
The watch runs on Casio's Tough Solar charging system.
It includes Bluetooth for pairing with the Casio Watches app, enabling automatic time sync, alarms, and world time for 300 cities.
It also supports Multiband 6 radio control for time calibration from six global towers.
The internal battery provides about five months of standard use without light exposure, or up to 18 months in power-saving mode in darkness.
The MTG-B4000B-1A is available now on Casio's website, with limited stock noted.
