Casio‘s G-Shock MRG-B2000KT-3A is now available in the US after launching in Japan and the UK. Arizona Fine Time sells it for $8,000, while Chrono24 listings start at $6,242. Stock is limited everywhere.

The watch pulls from Japanese sword-making. The titanium bezel is based on the tsuba sword guard and has a hand-carved phoenix made using Shishi-Aibori hammering. Each bezel is different because craftsmen carve them individually with hammer and chisel. Green DLC coating gives it the kuroganeiro black iron look seen in forged steel. Four emeralds sit in the bezel screws and represent wisdom and spiritual strength.

The case shows “nie,” the crystallized edge pattern found on tempered sword blades. Casio creates this by recrystallizing pure titanium. Brown AIP coating makes it harder and adds a copper color. A metal plate at 9 o’clock says “2025 LIMITED.” The dial ring has a red-to-orange gradient. The dial features an arrow feather design from the hamaya charm used for protection. Yamagata Casio makes all exterior parts through precision machining.

The strap uses dark green Durasoft fluorine rubber. It’s soft, tough, and won’t wear out or discolor easily. It has a Bishamon tortoiseshell pattern. The titanium clasp is deep hardened with the same brown AIP coating as the case.

The watch has 20-bar water resistance, solar charging, Bluetooth time correction, and multi-band radio control for Japan, North America, Europe, and China.

Casio appears to be gearing up for another high-profile collaboration for upcoming G-Shock watches. The brand is partnering up with Coca-Cola once again, and this time, the collaboration is bringing the bold makeover to the popular CasiOak lineup. So here’s what we know.

New Casio x Coca-Cola G-Shock Collaboration on the Way

The latest info arrives from a popular Casio leaks account on Instagram. In a recent online post, geesgshock claims that a new limited edition, which carries the GA‑2100CC‑3A model number. The CC in the model number hints at a partnership with Coca-Cola once again, since the previous collaboration also had this in its model numbers. To recall, the DW6900CC23‑3 was released with a semi-transparent design that was made to resemble a classic Coca-Cola glass.

Now, the GA‑2100CC‑3A leak also hints at a similar limited edition entry in the G-Shock lineup. As the name suggests, the GA-2100 series is often unofficially referred to as the CasiOak line. So the classic octagonal design is probably getting a Coca-Cola branding on the dial, along with either a green or red paint job. While the design of this watch is still unknown, we can expect it to be inspired by the brand’s recognizable color scheme.

In related news, Casio’s new G-Shock MRG-B2000KT-3A just launched in the UK with the hand engraved phoenix design. The popular watch maker also recently unveiled a new gold-tone watch in the US with a classic retro look. Back in November, we even got a digital Casio watch that predicts the best time to go fishing.
