The timepiece draws inspiration from kigumi—a historic Japanese technique for interlocking wood without metal fasteners. Metal leaf artist Hiroto Rakusho applied powdered platinum to the watch's latticework dial, ensuring each piece possesses a unique texture and depth. This collaboration aims to embody the concept of haruka, or eternity, reflecting the durability inherent in the MR-G series since its 1996 debut.

Casio Marks 30 Years of MR-G With Limited-Edition Platinum Timepiece
Only 800 units of the new MRG-B2100HR will reach the global market, serving as a commemorative milestone for the G-SHOCK flagship line. The watch blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with industrial precision, utilizing platinum leaf finishes and structural color technology to honor three decades of craftsmanship.
Casio engineered the bezel and bracelet using advanced materials, specifically COBARION and DAT55G alloys, to balance aesthetic refinement with high-impact resilience. The octagonal bezel consists of 27 individual components, each polished before assembly. To achieve the shifting iridescent hues on the metal surfaces, the manufacturer employed an ultrashort-pulse laser, a process that mimics the natural structural color found in minerals and butterfly wings.
