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.

The otherworldly bauble has a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with non-reflective coating that ensures readability in bright conditions, as well as the brand’s shock-absorbing Triple G Resist construction. 

On the tech front, the limited-edition MTG boast solar-powered charging capabilities and can be paired to the G-Shock Connected App via Bluetooth, allowing owners to keep extraordinarily accurate time from anywhere on earth. 

It also comes with all of the standard G-Shock features, including: 

• 200M water resistance and shock resistance
• Super Illuminator
• (World time (39 TZ + 27 cities)
• Dual Dial Display
• Full Auto LED Light
• Stopwatch and countdown timer
• Daily alarm
• Full auto calendar  

The limited-edition MTGB1000RB-2A is on display at the Baselworld trade show in Basel, Switzerland before it goes on sale to the rest of us for $1,000 in June.
