G-Shock celebrates three decades of MR-G with fresh Frogman
Casio is paying homage to 30 years of its G-Shock MR-G line with the launch of a new Frogman.
Since its debut in 1996, the MR-G offering has represented the highest expression of the brand’s engineering, blending advanced technology, premium materials, and traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
In a continuation of that legacy, the new MRGBF1000EB-1A draws inspiration from the brinicle, or brine icicle, as its design theme.
These rare downward-growing columns of ice form naturally beneath the ocean surface in the freezing-cold seawater of polar regions.
Limited to only 800 timepieces worldwide, each individual unit showcases a unique, hand-crafted bezel made from COBARION, an alloy approximately four times harder than pure titanium, while delivering a brilliant, platinum-like luster.
As a tribute to the anniversary milestone, the caseback is engraved with the iconic Frogman diving frog character, along with “MR-G 30TH” wordmark, and a unique serial number identifying each piece as one of only 800 pieces worldwide.
Featuring ISO 200-meter diving water resistance, a screw-lock crown, and MR-G’s advanced Clad Guard Structure, the watch delivers exceptional durability and protection against impacts.
The case, crown, buttons, screws, and case back are all crafted from Ti64 titanium alloy, while a blue vapor-deposited sapphire crystal is press-fit into the screw-lock caseback and finished with a titanium carbide coating.
The MRGBF1000EB-1A Frogman is available starting today for $9,500 at the G-Shock SoHo Store, select jewelers, and online at gshock.com.
Each individually numbered timepiece is presented in special commemorative packaging and includes both interchangeable bands and a dedicated band mounting tool.
