Casio America has unveiled the G-SHOCK MRGBF1000RG 'Goliath Frogman,' a high-end dive watch that blends rugged durability with premium craftsmanship. Designed as a tribute to the Conraua goliath — the world’s largest frog species, this limited-edition timepiece combines the FROGMAN series’ deep-sea legacy with the MR-G line’s refined aesthetics.
The G-SHOCK MRGBF1000RG 'Goliath Frogman' was constructed from over 70 titanium components, making the watch both lightweight and exceptionally resilient. The green Dura Soft fluoro-rubber strap amplifies the aesthetic appeal of the timepiece as it mimics the amphibian’s natural coloring. Additional enhancements include titanium carbide coating, diamond-like carbon accents, and a vapor-deposited green sapphire crystal case back.
Engineered for professional divers and adventure seekers, the Goliath Frogman meets ISO 200-meter water resistance standards while its asymmetrical case design and flexible strap accommodate wetsuit sleeves.
