Luxurious G-SHOCK Tactical Frogman Watch Modeled After Giant Goliath, Retails for $4,300
The watch world is abuzz with the latest addition to the G-SHOCK MR-G series – the MR-G Frogman MRG-BF1000RG-3A. This military-inspired luxury sports dive watch boasts a host of features designed for durability, functionality, and style.
At its core, the MRG-BF1000RG-3A boasts a highly airtight titanium exterior. With a multi-component structure made of over 70 parts, including a screw-lock crown and case back, this watch ensures ISO 200-meter water resistance, making it suitable for diving[1]. The case, bezel, and case back undergo a deep-hardening process and titanium carbide finish, providing enhanced strength, abrasion resistance, and long-lasting titanium beauty[1].
The design of the watch is inspired by adventure and military elements. The watch’s khaki-colored band is inspired by the goliath frog of West Africa, symbolizing toughness. It also features striking orange accents for a dynamic look, and beige indexes with Neobrite coating to maintain excellent visibility in low-light conditions[1].
The MRG-BF1000RG-3A offers dive and tide graph modes, displayed in full-analog, supporting functionality tailored for diving activities[2]. Additionally, it includes solar-powered timekeeping with Bluetooth® and Radio Control, ensuring accurate timekeeping through solar charging and wireless synchronization with atomic time signals and Bluetooth technology for smart connectivity[2].
The watch's dial is lit by G-SHOCK’s Super Illuminator LED for nighttime visibility. The OD green Dura Soft strap matches the green hour markers on the dial, adding to the overall cohesive design. The watch's production numbers will be naturally constrained by the complex manufacturing process.
The new MR-G Frogman is not a limited edition and will be available from May 15 for a price of $4,300. The MRG-BF1000RG-3A combines military-inspired rugged aesthetics, advanced titanium construction ensuring extreme durability and water resistance, specialized diving functions, and modern timekeeping technology, making it a top-tier diver's watch in the G-SHOCK MR-G series[1][2].
The MR-G division of G-SHOCK has introduced a new military-inspired version of the Frogman, called the MRG-BF1000RG-3A, marking a recent development in the MR-G treatment of the Frogman, with the first true MR-G Frogman appearing in 2023. For those who seek a blend of style, functionality, and durability, the G-SHOCK MR-G Frogman MRG-BF1000RG-3A is a watch worth considering.
