The whispers have become reality. Casio has officially unveiled the UK launch of its highly anticipated, sculptural timepiece: the G-Shock MRG-B2100D-2A. After rumours swirled at the end of 2025 and a subsequent debut in Japan earlier this year, British watch enthusiasts can now officially put their name down for one of the brand's most poetic and premium creations to date.
The confirmation comes via Casio's own UK online store, where the watch is now listed with a retail price of £3,700.00. While the precise release date remains under wraps, the product page invites potential buyers to “sign up now” for an email notification the moment it becomes available. It is yet to be confirmed whether the watch will also grace the shelves of Casio's flagship London boutique.
This isn't just a new colourway; it's a story forged in metal and infused with heritage. The centrepiece is its captivating ‘hanada-iro’ or cerulean blue dial, a shade Casio poetically dubs "dawn-blue." This specific hue is designed to mimic the ethereal colour of the morning mist enveloping Japan's oldest pagoda in the Tohoku region. It’s a touch of horological poetry that elevates the design beyond mere specification.
The craftsmanship matches the narrative. The watch features a silver-coloured case and band with a sophisticated titanium-carbide finish, offering exceptional scratch resistance and a subtle lustre. Topping it off is a bezel forged from Cobarion, a proprietary cobalt-chromium alloy that achieves a brilliance and hardness approaching that of platinum.
For those eager to see every detail up close, you can explore the official specification and imagery on Casio's UK product page for the MRG-B2100D-2A.
Beneath its serene facade lies the relentless toughness and tech expected from G-Shock's elite MR-G lineage. The analogue display (with three hands, date, and day windows) is powered by a host of modern features: Bluetooth Smartphone Link for seamless automatic time adjustment, Tough Solar charging, and Multi-Band 6 radio-controlled accuracy for perfect timekeeping globally. It's also built to endure, with 200-metre water resistance, magnetic resistance, and a suite of practical functions including a power-saving mode, LED light, and auto hand home position correction.
With the UK market now confirmed, the question on many international collectors' minds is: what's next? Casio has not yet announced release timelines for other key markets like the United States or the European Union. For now, UK aficionados have the exclusive first chance to secure a piece of this dawn-blue, pagoda-inspired engineering.
