Made Of Meteorite, Inspired By Samurai Armour: Two Dope New Drops From Breitling & G-SHOCK

To advance humanity into the future, we must first look back to the past. These two watches, in design and function, beautifully symbolise this philosophy. One timepiece honours the way of the ancient samurai, the other looks up towards the stars and space travel. Both deserve a place on your wrist. G-SHOCK Kurogane-Iro Collection G-SHOCK has introduced two new models, the MRGB2000BG-3A and MRGB2000RG-3A, to broaden its premium MR-G lineup. Kurogane-iro, a deep blue-green colour reminiscent of heated iron used in samurai armour, serves as the inspiration for these timepieces, which follow the 'Juryoku-Maru: San' limited edition. Green diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating and a deep-layer hardening process are used to give titanium components this striking colour, creating a finish that is both sophisticated and bold. Both models, which are meticulously crafted and have their roots in Japanese tradition, have dials framed by fan-like contours and indexes that are reminiscent of swords and were created using Casio's nano-processing technology. A recrystallised titanium bezel that mimics the crystalline patterns of Japanese sword blades makes the MRGB2000RG-3A stand out. Sallaz polishing, sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and gold ion-plated accents enhance the watches' opulent appearance while guaranteeing their longevity and clarity. Advanced features like Bluetooth® smartphone connectivity, radio-controlled timekeeping, solar-powered movement, and water resistance up to 200 metres combine functionality and artistic expression. The MR-G module's gold-plated retainer plate improves electrical performance, highlighting the brand's dedication to precise engineering. While the MRGB2000RG-3A chooses a flexible fluoro-rubber strap embossed with a tortoiseshell pattern signifying strength and protection, the MRGB2000BG-3A has a full titanium band treated with the same DLC coating. The two G-SHOCK Kurogane-Iro timepieces both retail for US$3,300 (~RM13,983) and can be purchased through Casio's official website. Breitling x Haaland Meteorite Chronomat Collection In a new partnership with Manchester City forward Erling Haaland, Breitling has unveiled two limited-edition Chronomat timepieces that combine athletic precision with cosmic materials. There are two primary limited-edition models in the collection. There are only 500 of the Chronomat Automatic GMT 40, which comes in stainless steel with a platinum bezel. However, the Chronomat B01 42, which is limited to 250 pieces, amplifies the luxury appeal with an 18k red gold case. The dials on both models are made of Muonionalusta meteorite, an astral substance that formed more than 4.5 billion years ago. Because each dial has a different pattern, no two watches are alike. From choosing the Chronomat as the base model to selecting the metals for the cosmic dial and case, Haaland was heavily involved in the design process. A red-gold GMT hand and Haaland's initials on the central seconds hand highlight the meteorite dial of the Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 Erling Haaland, which is housed in a platinum-bezel stainless-steel case. 'ONE OF 500' and 'ERLING HAALAND 9' are engraved on the caseback, encircling a silhouette of Haaland in his trademark goal-celebration pose. This model gives you the option of a black rubber strap in the rouleaux style or a traditional steel rouleaux bracelet. The Chronomat B01 42 Erling Haaland's meteorite dial, black chronograph subdials, and 18k red gold case enhance the design. A sapphire-crystal caseback engraved with 'ONE OF 250' and Haaland's number 9 reveals the Breitling Manufacture Calibre 01, which has a 70-hour power reserve. It is available on an 18k red-gold rouleaux or black rubber, and it also features Haaland's initials on the central chronograph seconds hand. The collection, which is a very personal endeavour for the athlete, is completed by a third, incredibly rare 'ONE OF 5' edition made exclusively for Haaland and his closest friends and family. This edition has a meteorite dial, an 18k red gold case, and a transparent caseback that shows off the Breitling Manufacture Calibre 01 movement inside. On the caseback is a picture of Haaland in his goal-celebration pose, and his name and jersey number are custom-engraved on the case side. Each model is presented in a wooden box with a signed note of gratitude from Haaland, highlighting the intimate nature of the partnership. Each piece is an exclusive item. Hence, prices start at RM45,900 and go as high as RM221,900. If you'd like to know more about Breitling's new limited-edition collaboration with Erling Haaland, visit the brand's official website.

Casio to Release MR-G Inspired by the World's Largest Frog

Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today the release of a new MR-G timepiece, adding to the flagship line of the G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches. The design of the new MRG-BF1000RG, the latest timepiece in the FROGMAN line of divers' watches, evokes the world's largest frog — the goliath frog. The FROGMAN shock-resistant diver's watch is known for its asymmetric design, crafted to allow unrestricted wrist movement underwater. The MRG-BF1000R, released in 2023, brought this unique form to life with a highly water-resistant titanium case. Its meticulous construction, including a polished finish down to the finest details, has earned it high praise. Building on the MRG-BF1000R, the new MRG-BF1000RG draws inspiration from the goliath frog — the world's largest frog — found in the tropical rainforests of West Africa. Its colors and design evoke a spirit of adventure, capturing the thrill of exploring untamed wilderness. The khaki band, inspired by the coloring on the back of the goliath frog, is made with a soft, highly flexible fluoro rubber material, ensuring a comfortable fit. The beige indexes, evoking the coloring on the frog's underside, are coated with Neobrite for excellent visibility even in low-light conditions. The titanium screw-lock case back is fitted with a sapphire crystal, finished with a vibrant green vapor deposition inspired by the eye of the Goliath frog, and maintains a highly water-resistant structure while preserving the built-in antenna's radio wave reception sensitivity. In dive mode, the hour and minute hands overlap to form a single hand, providing an intuitive, easy-to-read display of time spent underwater. Three dual-coil motors enable swift hand movement, allowing users to switch quickly from current time display to dive time display — making this a truly practical diver's watch.
