Full metal with a brilliant shine and dial inspired by traditional Japanese kigumi wood joinery
A full metal multi-component exterior, polished to a stunning finish, meets an exquisite dial design inspired by kigumi, the traditional Japanese architectural technique of wood joinery. This is also the first time the color silver has been available in an MRG-B2100 timepiece, celebrating the beautiful look of the metal in the iconic octagonal bezel. The super-hard alloys employed for the bezel, case, and band are treated with a titanium carbide finish that maintains their beautiful shine. This very special timepiece is destined to captivate the owner like never before.
FEATURES
Full metal with refined beauty
The bezel is formed from a total of 27 separate components instead of the conventional single piece, and the dimpled parts of the band are also constructed with separate componentry. The multi-component design enables the application of meticulously detailed high-quality polishes. Sallaz polishing creates the beautiful mirror surfaces, and titanium carbide finishing enhances abrasion resistance. Separate hairline and mirror finishes highlight the beauty of the metal’s texture.
Multi-Guard Structure for supporting an intricate form
Buffering is inserted between the bezel parts and case to help absorb impacts to the module, delivering shock-resistance in a full-metal construction with an intricate multi-component bezel.
Super-hard alloys developed in Japan: Combining strength with beauty
The top bezel is made with COBARION®, an alloy about four times harder than pure titanium which also has a brilliant gleam comparable to platinum. The band links employ DAT55G, an alloy which is about three times harder than pure titanium. These Japan-made super-hard alloys make for an exterior design that offers both strength and beauty, along with a sophisticated textural appeal. A special Ti64 titanium alloy is used for the case, case back, and buttons.

Dial design inspired by kigumi concept from Japanese aesthetics
The latticework-like form with an intricate series of openings creates a geometric pattern beautifully expressing the worldview of kigumi, the traditional Japanese art of woodwork joinery. The openings in the latticework dial ensure plenty of light passes through to power the watch. The 12 o’clock index features an intricately assembled two-part structure. This kind of craftwork, which demands the very highest precision, is only possible thanks to the fine processing technologies of Yamagata Casio.

Kigumi
Kigumi is a traditional Japanese construction method and woodworking technique used for wooden joinery without the use of nails or other metal fittings. It produces forms with both structural strength and artistic design sensibility. Such wooden latticework techniques produce intricate geometric patterns, which can also be observed in other traditional Japanese handicrafts.
DETAILS
Slim case with a shock-resistant crown
A slimmed down form of the original MR-G Clad Guard Structure allows the incorporation of componentry to guard the crown. This makes it possible to maintain the streamlined profile of the 2100 Style while also giving the crown shock resistance. A special construction keeps the MR-G logo, engraved on the crown, horizontally aligned when the crown is screw-locked.
