G-Shock’s New ‘Lunar Rainbow’ Watch Is Out of This World
Far out, man.
The latest addition to Casio’s G-Shock family arrives with an exclusive “Lunar Rainbow” design that’s as stunning as it is sturdy.
Officially dubbed the MTGB1000RB-2A, the head-turning timepiece commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Metal Twisted G-Shock line of luxury watches.
As Highsnobiety notes, it’s based on the MTG-B1000, which was the first MT-G example with Bluetooth connectivity. The name is inspired by light-refracting rainbow ion plating on the bezel that produces a spectrum of eye-catching colors.
