The first metal construction G-SHOCK was born in 1996!
At first, sales of G-Shock watches were sluggish, but the situation turned around with the introduction of the “DW-5900C,” a famous model known to fans of the past and commonly referred to as the “three-eyed” model. It established itself as a fashionable item as well as a robust, functional, and tough watch. In 1996, the “MR-G” appeared as a landmark item in the midst of gaining a large number of fans, with full metal specifications and perfect shock resistance, the bloodline of the G-Shock. This model was based on the concept of “a G for adults that looks good with a suit. This was the moment when the series, which had been strongly associated with the image that “urethane resin is the G-Shock,” was joined by the fashionable option of metal.

In 1999, the “MT-G” was born, a fusion of “metal” and “resin.
Three years after the full-metal models joined the G-Shock lineup, a hybrid collection with a novel look appeared, combining the stylish beauty of the metal form with the toughness of resin. It is the G-SHOCK “MT-G” with innovative functional beauty. The fusion is achieved by adopting a new concept of shock-resistant structure, the Triple Floating Guard. The new concept of rationally protecting the watch from shocks is embodied, and the high degree of freedom of design, which removes the fetters of using only metal as a material, has evolved the watch into a highly sensitive fashion item. It has a unique appeal not found in the full-metal MR-G model.
