Double-anniversary commemorative design:
MR-G FROGMAN in a special color

This very special timepiece commemorates a pair of special occasions: the G-SHOCK 40th anniversary and the FROGMAN 30th. The MR-G diver’s watch, crafted with a passion for design befitting the flagship line of the G-SHOCK brand, features a titanium exterior with a multi-component structure and meticulous attention to detail — now in a hue that pays homage to the yellow used for the first FROGMAN. Offered in a limited edition of only 700 pieces worldwide in special sets that include an interchangeable titanium band and a dedicated tool for swapping out the bands.

FEATURE1

Meticulous commemorative design

The concept colour is yellow, the hue featured on the very first FROGMAN, the DW-6300, and one of the colours that is symbolic of the line. The crown, buttons, and screws are treated with gold IP. Sapphire crystal is press-fit into the titanium screw-lock case back to ensure a highly airtight structure while maintaining the built-in antenna’s radio wave reception sensitivity. Casio passion for refinement down to the finest details is evident everywhere in the design, with gold vapour deposition, and engravings of the first-generation FROGMAN diving frog character, as well as the words “G-SHOCK 40TH” and “FROGMAN 30TH.”

*Due to the screw-lock construction of the case back, the orientation of the logo and lettering on it may not match up perfectly with the dial.

FEATURE2

Special set with a pair of interchangeable bands

The vivid yellow fluoro-rubber Dura Soft band is highly resistant to staining and hydrolysis. With its flexibility, it offers a comfortable fit on the wrist, as does the specially developed, interchangeable pure titanium band with its many moveable parts. Painstaking processes of treating each link with a deep-layer hardening process and diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating prior to assembly give the titanium band a high-quality, intricate makeup. The band is also extendable so it can even be worn over a wetsuit. Use the dedicated tool to remove the side pins while pressing the buttons on the lugs’ undersides to quickly and easily swap out the band.

FEATURE3

Highly airtight titanium exterior with multi-component structure offering ISO 200-metre water resistance

Lightweight, rust-resistant titanium is used for key exterior components — from the case, bezel, and case back, to the crown, buttons, and screws. The watch is made up of an intricate combination of over 70 exterior components, achieving a powerful and beautiful form. A protective structure offers face-guarding functionality with buffers made of fluoro rubber installed in the space between the bezel and case. A deep-layer hardening process and DLC coating provide even greater strength and abrasion resistance. The case incorporates a crown and case back that both feature a screw-lock construction. These and other features throughout the design keep the watch air-tight to ensure water resistance for diving.

FEATURE4

Neo-Brite index marks: Aglow with masterful techniques

The dial features large index marks that glow in the dark to maintain readability underwater. Recessed portions on the top surface are hand-painted, yielding a thick coating for a more vibrant glow than can be achieved with printing. While applying the coatings evenly is challenging due to the amount of surface area, each piece is carefully finished individually by highly skilled workers employing sophisticated artisanal techniques.

Clad Guard Structure adapted for diving

Protective components are built into the crown and buttons to help absorb impacts to the module. The crown features an airtight screw-lock construction and incorporates buffering components made of highly water-resistant fluoro rubber. A special construction keeps the MR-G logo, engraved on the crown, horizontally aligned when the crown is screw-locked.
