This new Casio G-Shock watch borrows design cues from Samurai armor

Casio has released a trio of new G-Shock watches inspired by traditional Japanese armor and crafting techniques. The three watches are available to buy now in Singapore, and unlike some other high-end MRG-B2000 models, they aren't limited editions, so there's a good chance they may go on sale internationally in the coming months.

The MRG-B2000B-1A4, the flashiest of the three, borrows the red color of the armor worn by elite samurai units during Japan's Sengoku (or Warring States) period, when warlords and clans fought for control of the country following the collapse of the feudal system.
