A Look Back at the MRG-B5000
The MRG-B5000 made its debut in March 2022, right in the midst of the pandemic, as a full-metal reinterpretation of the classic 1983 DW-5000C design. Crafted in Japan with top-quality materials and polished using advanced techniques, this model significantly raised MR-G’s profile in its home market. It also represented one of the initial serious efforts to promote MR-G through online sales platforms.
Pricing and Availability
Current standard models, like the MRG-B5000B-1JR, sell for approximately ¥495,000 (~$3,154) in Japan. Casio has also launched limited editions, such as the MRG-B5000HT-1JR, which was limited to 500 units globally and sold out quickly in Japan. At this point, it’s uncertain if the newly recorded model will become part of the standard lineup or be a special limited edition. The source hints that, considering the current saturation of core colors, it might lean more towards a limited release – though this should be regarded with caution.
What’s Next for the MRG-B5000?
At this moment, the only confirmed information is the new MRG-B5000 entry in the certification records. Casio has yet to make an official statement about it.
