G-SHOCK has just launched a special new addition to its G-SHOCK family of shock-resistant watches. The new MTG-B2000PH is part of the MT-G line of watches which employ a construction that makes the most of the properties of both metal and resin. The new MTG-B2000PH features a design motif inspired by the Blue Phoenix of mythical lore, and it has rainbow ion plating on the bezel and case.
The new MTG-B2000PH features rainbow ion plating applied to its bezel and case as well as a multi-coloured dial expressing its design motif inspired by the Blue Phoenix, a bird of Eastern mythology said to bear auspicious tidings. The bezel features an independent construction separate from the case.
Layers of yellow-to-red gradation are applied — crosswise on the bezel, lengthwise on the case — over light-blue ion plating evocative of blazing-hot flames to achieve a mystical colouration in which innumerable hues seem intertwined. The subtle colour variations in the rainbow ion plating mean that every single watch is unique — no two look the same. The dial also employs accents in a multicolour design of colours like pink and orange. The translucent navy-blue band sets the watch design off with a resplendent vision of the Blue Phoenix.
The captivating design is complemented by outstanding functionality. The watch not only features radio wave time-calibration, but also automatic time adjustment when paired with a smartphone using a dedicated app. These functions offer outstanding convenience: the watch automatically adjusts to local time when crossing time zones, without requiring the user to do anything.
There will be a special installation featuring this MT-G Blue Phoenix at Casio G-SHOCK Premium Marina Bay Sands (MBS) store from the 18th June to the 24th June. Using the unique rainbow colour, the worldview of the mystical flair and spectrum can be seen.
The MT-G Blue Phoenix is priced at $1,659 and will be available online from 11 June 2021 and at all G-SHOCK stores from 18 June 2021.
