Double-anniversary commemorative design:
MR-G FROGMAN in a special colour
This special timepiece commemorates two very special occasions: The 40th birthday of the G-SHOCK and the 30th birthday of the FROGMAN. Crafted with a passion for design and part of the G-SHOCK brand's flagship model line, the MR-G diver's watch features a titanium case with a multi-piece structure and distinct attention to detail — now in a hue that pays tribute to the yellow of the first FROGMAN watch. Available in a limited edition of only 700 pieces worldwide in a special set with an interchangeable titanium strap and special tools to replace the straps.
MRG-BF1000E-1A9
- Accessories: Interchangeable strap, dedicated mounting tool
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.

DETAIL1
Special packaging: Fitting for a limited edition
A decorative box presents the watch with a profound look and is set off with a badge commemorating the G-SHOCK and FROGMAN anniversaries. The included band mounting tool, made of stainless steel with a DLC coating applied to it, is engraved with MR-G and FROGMAN logos. It features a knurled design inspired by a watch crown motif.
DETAIL2
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.
