I have always liked the bold lines of Casio’s G-Shock range. They are almost always reasonably priced and they look great. They can take a bit of a beating too, which is essential if a watch is going to worn around my wrist. It is now twenty-five years since Casio released the first model in the G-Shock line and in order to celebrate, they have something rather special for us, the MRG-8000G. It is available in Japan, the United States, Germany and England.

Looking at the picture, you have probably already determined that the bezel is constructed from titanium. The ring is 18 karat gold and there are gold accents throughout. It really is a work of art and keeps in line with the classic G-Shock look.

It is a shame, therefore, that they could not keep it in line with the classic G-Shock price. The MRG-8000G will set you back a wallet busting 500,000 yen, which is about $4,600 today and who knows how much tomorrow.
