Over those eight years of development, Casio realized that constructing the case out of multiple pieces of sapphire crystal, each grown from ingots over several months, helped it absord shocks more capably. The technique is similar to one used in traditional Japanese timber construction, where cannily designed interlocking parts mean that virtually no screws or glue are needed to hold everything together.

But for those of us who don’t quite have the money of G-Shock’s many red-carpet-walking fans, Casio is also releasing additional G-Shocks that go a bit subtler on the sapphire. There’s the MRG-B5000SA-2, limited to 500 pieces at $6,600, with two elongated sapphires set into the top and bottom of the bezel; and the non-limited GMW-B5000SB-1A2 at $770, with four small rounded sapphires in the bezel. It’s a bit more of an IYKYK look, sure, but it still means you’re getting a G-Shock decked out in gems.

Someone get 2000s-era Nigo and Pharrell on the phone, because these would look right at home with some Evisu jeans and Bapestas. Or strapped to your wrist during a cage fight. They are G-Shocks, after all.
