Casio has announced the release of their most sophisticated and prestigious timepiece collection to date: the MT-G: Metal Twisted G-SHOCK for the active gentleman that seeks G-SHOCK performance and technology, but enjoys the prestige of a luxury accessory. Inspired by the adventurous man that grew up wearing G-SHOCK and now has refined his style to a more professional look, the Metal Twisted G-SHOCK collection consists of three premium chronograph models. The MT-G collection uses the highest standards of engineering and rigorous testing at its design center in Japan to ensure that every piece remains true to the original G-SHOCK concept, whilst a combination of the finest materials and opulent styling’s deliver the ultimate in a luxury timepiece.
The MT-G is a completely refined G-SHOCK series crafted at Casio’s Yamagata factory in Japan for select premium styles. Meticulously assembled from materials and components made entirely in-house, the elegance of a luxury timepiece is combined with a rugged performance chronograph to take you across oceans and continents. The stainless steel covering of the MT-G employs G-SHOCK’s advanced Core Guard Structure of stainless steel, resin and alpha Gel to ensure mechanical integrity, coupled with LED-infused Tough Movement for ongoing precision. Multi-Band 6 atomic timekeeping ensures accuracy through radio-controlled time/date updates from global transmitting stations, along with Triple G Resist for shock, gravitational drop and centrifugal force resistance. The MT-G is the epitome of modern wrist couture.
This elite collection elevates the G-SHOCK brand into a premium space for the affluent lifestyle consumer. Impeccably designed to represent masculine values, the MT-G features a dual-layer watch face with four subdials, easily activated via a Smart Access electronic crown. The smart access technology allows intuitive operational access to all key functions by simply unlocking the quick-lock crown and turning it in the desired direction. The Sapphire crystal mineral glass with anti-glare coating allows visual clarity and works to soften the watch’s aesthetic, while the composite band of solid stainless steel links is layered on the underside with a soft-touch, low-thermal conductance resin panels for a luxurious feel against the skin; further enhancing the MT-G’s overall shock resistance
