The G-SHOCK MT-G (aka “Metal Twisted G-SHOCK”) line has always been driven by innovation and a distinctive aesthetic, providing exceptional durability and the brand’s most advanced technology. Now, the MT-G line serves as the platform…

I often say that successful collaboration watches should be an equal blend of both brands’ identities, with the resulting timepieces feeling like creations that wouldn’t otherwise be produced by either company on its own.
