A Coveted Model Featuring Shigeo Nagashima's Retired Number '3' and the Yomiuri Giants' Team Colors
From G-SHOCK's premium "MR-G" series, a signature model of baseball legend and "Mr. Giants" Shigeo Nagashima, Honorary Chairman for Life, will be released on Thursday, November 21, 2019, in a domestic-exclusive run of 200 units.
The base model is the downsized "MRG-B1000." It features shock resistance and Bluetooth®-enabled radio-controlled solar power, ensuring accurate timekeeping anywhere in the world. The newly developed "Clad Guard Structure" successfully balances ease of crown operation with shock resistance, while also achieving a smaller size. It retains the signature presence of MR-G while offering a more comfortable fit on the wrist.
Fitting for a Shigeo Nagashima signature model, the number '3'—Nagashima's jersey number and a retired number by the Yomiuri Giants, symbolizing his legendary status—is placed at the 3 o'clock position on the dial. The case back is engraved with his personal signature and his 17-year official batting record. The color scheme adopts the Yomiuri Giants' team colors. The titanium case and bracelet are finished in all-black with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) processing, while the bezel and dial feature orange as an accent color.
Furthermore, the included special packaging features a patch with the number '3' on the lining and a gold plate engraved with a laser image of Shigeo Nagashima in a full swing, making it a truly special edition. This is a "MADE IN JAPAN" item manufactured at Yamagata Casio, the mother factory of Casio Computer Co., Ltd. It is a special model befitting the name of Honorary Chairman for Life Shigeo Nagashima, with every detail emphasizing strength and quality.
