MTGB1000VL
Impact with beauty.
The MTGB1000VL of the MT-G series of watches, which are known for a construction that combines metal and resin, boasts a striking multi-colored design that represents volcanic lightning.
The MTGB1000VL reproduces the frightening yet beautiful blue, purple, and gold colors of the lightning caused by a volcanic eruption with a rainbow ion-plated bezel and a multi-colored dial. The rainbow-colored bezel finished with ion plating is overlaid with the image of the rare atmospheric phenomenon of volcanic lightning, which produces subtle differences in coloring that allow each wearer to enjoy their own unique glow. The MTGB1000VL is also the first MT-G series model to use a semi-translucent red soft urethane material for the band—to represent the aggression of magma bubbling up—rendering a distinct image of power on the wrist.
The base model for the watch is the MTGB1000, which delivered toughness in a compact case by employing a Core Guard Structure that links the bezel and back cover with planar parts. The MTGB1000VL offers a special combination of advanced features like smartphone connectivity and solar-powered radio control with an inventive design.
Each piece features subtly different color gradations to express the awe-inspiring wonder and beauty of nature.
External metal parts are finished with IP in four color variations:
1) rainbow for the bezel
2) red for the band piece
3) rose gold for the screws, buckles and strap keeper
4) black for the buttons and crown
A red, blue and white color scheme for the hour, minute and second hands sets them off against the black of the dial and gold hue of the index. A rainbow vapor deposition finish colors the inset dial ring with blue-to-violet gradations.
A box-shaped frame formed by the bezel, case back and band connection pieces surrounds the inner case made with carbon fiber reinforced resin to protect the module.

The band in soft red translucent urethane material expresses the intense heat of molten volcanic lava in vivid color. Fine resin gives the band connection a look of transparency.

The Super Illuminator function lights up the watch face with high-intensity light, to ensure readability in the dark.

A non-reflective coating is applied to the highly transparent, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal to ensure clarity and visibility.

Solar Power
A solar cell provides power for operation
-
Auto-Hand Location
Using an LED, the positions of the hour, minute and second hands are checked at the 55'00" of every hour to ensure correct hand positioning. If the hand time does not coincide with the counter within the IC, the movement corrects the hand position automatically
-
LED Light (Super Illuminator)
A light emitting diode is used to illuminate the face/display. Super Illuminator uses high-brightness LED for easier reading
-
World Time (R27)
Displays the current time in major cities and specific areas around the world. R: Current time in major cities around the world. Values indicate number of cities/areas
-
Beeper Alarm
Beeper tone alarm sounds at the time you set
-
Stopwatch (24HR)
Accurate measurement of elapsed time with the touch of a button. The fraction indicates the unit of measurement, while the time figure indicates the maximum time measurement
-
Timer (24H)
Counts down from a start time specified by you. The value indicates the number of timers available, while the time figure indicates the maximum starting time. “REPEAT” indicates Auto Repeat, which automatically restarts timing at the end of each countdown
-
Full Auto-Calendar
Allowances are made automatically for months of different lengths, including leap year
-
12/24-Hour Timekeeping
