Vol. 20: G-SHOCK MR-G B2100D-1A × Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Mäkinen Edition
Where precision engineering meets rally-bred legend.
Some machines don’t just perform — they represent something.
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Mäkinen Edition (TME) represents the very peak of homologation-era obsession: a road car sharpened by four WRC titles and sculpted with the singular purpose of turning intention into speed.
The G-SHOCK MR-G B2100D-1A represents a similar doctrine in watchmaking: take a proven platform, strip away compromise, rebuild it in titanium, and elevate durability into something worthy of the MR-G crest. Both are evolutions of icons — only matured, hardened, refined, and made intentionally premium.
This is a pairing built on lineage, discipline, and engineering purity.
The Car: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI TME
A celebration of Tommi Mäkinen’s dominance, the TME isn’t a cosmetic tribute — it’s Mitsubishi’s engineers pouring every championship lesson into one final, distilled Evo.
Titanium-aluminide turbo for quicker spool
Quicker steering ratio
Stiffer, tarmac-focused suspension
Revised aero for stability
Lightweight Enkei wheels
Recaro seats and a MOMO wheel — the proper tools
It’s the Evo boiled down to essence: faster response, sharper feedback, and a connection that doesn’t require interpretation.
If the standard Evo VI is the athlete, the TME is the athlete at peak form — the moment of mastery.

The Watch: G-SHOCK MR-G B2100D-1A
The MR-G B2100D-1A takes the GA-2100 and transforms it:
Titanium replaces resin
Sallaz polishing replaces molded surfaces
Sapphire replaces mineral
Tough Solar + Bluetooth time correction
Full MR-G shock-resistant architecture
It’s not just a premium version — it’s the 2100 platform at peak maturity, the same way the TME is to the Evo VI. A familiar silhouette rebuilt with discipline, detail, and Japanese metalworking excellence.

Shared DNA: Precision from Purpose
Both machines take an icon and elevate it into something more focused, more intentional, more exact.
Each enhances responsiveness — steering feel vs. button feel.
Each trims away compromise, leaving only purpose.
Each represents the summit of its lineage.
You choose a TME because you don’t want an Evo — you want the Evo. You choose an MR-G because you don’t want a G-SHOCK — you want the CasiOak taken to its upper limit.
This pairing is for someone who values refinement as a form of respect: to the machine, to the craft, to the legacy.
Wrist & Wheel Verdict
For the wearer-driver who favors precision over posturing — who sees engineering as expression — the MR-G B2100D-1A × Evo VI TME pairing hits with unmistakable clarity:
A rally legend and a titanium-forged G-SHOCK.
Mechanical truth and digital toughness.
Mastery refined by obsession.
This is performance distilled.
