Casio has released a new model in its MT-G line, the MTG-B2000YBD-2A. It was announced in April 2025 and launched in Japan in May. The watch combines carbon fiber and metal parts to stay strong while keeping the weight low. It has a black and blue-gray color scheme, with a metal band and a bezel made from stacked carbon and glass fiber sheets.
The case uses a carbon-fiber-reinforced resin core with a stainless steel outer frame. The bezel is made from 235 layers of carbon fiber and blue glass fiber. The band is a layered composite with stainless steel on the outside and fine resin on the inside. The watch measures 55.1 millimeters long, 49.8 millimeters wide, and 15.9 millimeters thick. It weighs about 131 grams.
The front glass is sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. The watch is water-resistant up to 200 meters. It’s also built to resist shock, centrifugal force, and vibration, as part of Casio’s Triple G Resist design. The dial has an LED light. The battery charges using light through Casio’s Tough Solar system. When fully charged, the watch runs for about five months without more light.
It uses a quartz movement (Module No. 5636) and keeps time using both radio signals (Multi-Band 6) and Bluetooth. You can connect it to your phone through the Casio Watches app. The app lets you adjust settings, set alarms, update the time, and locate your phone. The watch shows two time zones and supports 27 world time zones with automatic daylight saving time.
It also has a stopwatch, a countdown timer, a daily alarm, a full auto-calendar, and a hand shift feature that moves the hands out of the way when needed.
Pricing & availability
The MTG-B2000YBD-2A is available in Japan for ¥181,500, which is about $1,280. Casio has not said when or if it will release the watch in other countries.
