Casio G-Shock MTG-B1000RB Lunar Rainbow: Specs and Baselworld Hands-On

The Casio G-Shock MTG-B1000RB is a 2019 MT-G 20th-anniversary special with a rainbow ion-plated bezel whose color distribution varies from watch to watch. Casio based it on the MTG-B1000 platform, pairing the distinctive finish with Tough Solar power, Bluetooth smartphone time adjustment, Multi Band 6 radio timekeeping and a 200-metre water-resistance rating. The available contemporary hands-on reference is a Baselworld 2019 video; it is not a report of personal wear or testing.

What makes the MTG-B1000RB the Lunar Rainbow?

Casio announced the MTG-B1000RB in March 2019 to mark 20 years of its MT-G series, which began in 1999. The company described the design inspiration as a “lunar rainbow” and applied rainbow ion plating (IP) to the bezel. Casio says the color distribution differs on each bezel, so the finish is not identical from one example to another. The Japanese release date was May 17, 2019, according to Casio’s March 27, 2019 announcement.

The model is based on the MTG-B1000 and uses Casio’s Core Guard Structure. Casio describes the structure as connecting the bezel, case back and band connection pieces around an inner case; the MT-G family overview explains the construction.

What the Baselworld hands-on shows—and does not show

aBlogtoWatch’s Baselworld 2019 hands-on video, presented by Ariel Adams and published March 21, 2019, documents the watch’s presentation and calls attention to its rainbow ion-plated treatment. Its description gives a launch-era price of $1,000. That is historical reporting from 2019, not a current retail price or resale valuation. The video is a contemporary hands-on reference, but it does not establish personal wear or testing for this article.

Published specifications for the MTG-B1000RB-2AER

The following figures are Casio’s published specifications for the regional MTG-B1000RB-2AER listing, rather than independently tested performance results. The regional suffix matters: this is the specification listing for that variant, not a claim that every regional listing is identical.

Specification Casio listing
Case size 55.8 × 51.7 × 14.4 mm
Weight 123 g
Case and bezel Resin and stainless steel
Band Resin
Water resistance 200 metres
Power Tough Solar
Time adjustment Bluetooth smartphone time adjustment and Multi Band 6 radio timekeeping
Crystal Sapphire crystal with glare-resistant coating
Crown Screw-lock crown
Additional functions World time, stopwatch, countdown timer, daily alarm, LED illumination, full auto-calendar through 2099 and power saving

These specifications appear on Casio UK’s MTG-B1000RB-2AER product page. The case measurements and 123 g weight indicate a substantial watch; whether its proportions suit a particular wrist is a matter of fit, not something the published figures resolve.

Timekeeping, power and everyday functions

Two ways to correct the time

The listing specifies both Bluetooth smartphone time adjustment and Multi Band 6 radio timekeeping. These are separate time-setting methods: Bluetooth links the watch with a smartphone, while Multi Band 6 refers to radio time calibration. Casio lists both for this regional variant, so the choice is not a Bluetooth-only or radio-only configuration.

Solar power and useful functions

Tough Solar is the listed power system. Casio also specifies world time, a stopwatch, a countdown timer, a daily alarm, LED illumination, power saving and a full auto-calendar through 2099. These are manufacturer-listed functions; the product page does not provide independent test results for real-world accuracy, battery endurance or performance.

Availability and price today

The available sources establish the Japanese launch date and a 2019 launch-era price reference, but they do not establish current stock or market value. Treat the $1,000 figure in the 2019 aBlogtoWatch video description as historical context only. If considering a listing for the MTG-B1000RB-2A or another regional variant, verify the exact model suffix, seller, condition and asking price; no current retailer listing or availability is confirmed here.
