G-Shock Launches $80,000 Sapphire Flagship and Two Affordable Alternatives

Casio has released the 'Blue Rose Project,' a three-watch collection headlined by the MRG-D5000, the most expensive G-Shock ever made at $80,000. Limited to 20 pieces, this flagship features a case and bezel crafted entirely from blue sapphire crystal, a material previously deemed too brittle for the brand's shock-resistant standards. The release marks the culmination of an eight-year engineering effort to adapt the 'Multi-Guard Structure' for sapphire, utilizing a screwless, interlocking design inspired by traditional Japanese timber framing. Alongside the flagship, Casio introduced two more accessible models: the MRG-B5000SA-2 at $6,600 and the GMW-B5000SB-1A2 at $770, both featuring sapphire accents but retaining the brand's core durability features.
