The watch features a bezel and outer case made of blue sapphire crystal, assembled without screws to enhance durability and shock resistance, drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese timber framing. This release is the culmination of the "Blue Rose Project," an effort to create a shock-resistant sapphire construction that began with the "Dream Project" in 2018.

The MRG-D5000 is the first MR-G to feature an outer case made of blue sapphire crystal, assembled using a proprietary Multi-Guard Structure that combines multiple elements without screws.
The screwless construction is inspired by traditional Japanese timber framing and aims to prevent stress points that could crack the sapphire crystal.
The development of the shock-resistant sapphire construction is part of the "Blue Rose Project," an effort that began with the "Dream Project" in 2018.
The screw-lock case back is Grade 5 titanium with a DLC coating and is inscribed with a unique number (1/20 to 20/20) and "Dream Project."
The dial features a stainless steel brick pattern finished with a blue PVD coating, referencing the original G-Shock design, with lettering in 24K gold.
The watch is equipped with a feature-packed module using Gallium Tough Solar, Multi-Band 6 radio-controlled timekeeping, and offers five world time zones.
