Casio has confirmed that the G-Shock MRG-BF1000RG-3A Goliath Frogman will launch in the UK. The watch is priced at £4,400 (~$5,838), making it the lowest-priced model in the MRG-BF1000 lineup. The other models, the MRG-BF1000R-1A and MRG-BF1000B-1A, are priced at £4,500 and £5,200 respectively. The G-Shock MRG-BF1000RG-3A Goliath Frogman will also be available in Japan starting May 23 at an MSRP of 572,000 yen (~$3,986).
The design is based on the goliath frog, the largest amphibian in the world. It features a khaki Dura Soft fluororubber strap, orange details, and beige Neobrite-coated hands and indexes for visibility underwater. The case is made from lightweight, rust-resistant titanium and includes over 70 parts. It has a screw-lock crown and case back for better water resistance. A titanium carbide coating and deep-hardening treatment protect the case from wear.
The watch has a green-tinted sapphire crystal case back and hand-painted glow-in-the-dark details. The Frogman logo is engraved on the case. The buffered crown and Clad Guard Structure improve shock resistance. The strap can be easily replaced, and the titanium alloy buckle and button guards improve durability.
It comes with Dive Mode to track dive time and surface intervals, and an analogue Tide Graph to check tide levels. The watch includes a diving log, 24-hour stopwatch, countdown timer, daily alarm, dual time display, auto calendar, and a hand shift function that moves the hands away for a clear view of the LCD.
It connects to the CASIO WATCHES app through Bluetooth. The MRG-BF1000RG-3A uses solar and wireless charging with TOUGH SOLAR tech. It has Super LED illumination, 200-meter water resistance, magnetic resistance, and weighs 132 grams.
