Casio is adding two new models to its Master of G lineup in Japan: the Sea Frogman GWF-D1000BC-1 and the Land Mudmaster GWG-B1000-1A3. Both watches are scheduled for release this month and focus on specific utility features for diving and outdoor environments. The company has opted for a subdued design for these releases, utilizing black, olive green, and tan color schemes rather than bright accents.
Design Details & Pricing
The Sea Frogman GWF-D1000BC-1JF is the more expensive of the two, priced at ¥198,000 ($1,288). It is built specifically for diving, carrying an ISO-standard 200-meter water resistance rating. The watch includes a Triple Sensor array that features a thermometer, a digital compass with automatic horizontal compensation to maintain accuracy underwater, and a depth gauge that measures down to 80 meters in 10-centimeter increments.
For the hardware, the Frogman uses a composite bracelet made from a mix of metal and fine resin. It includes a two-stage extension mechanism so it can be worn over a wetsuit. The case features a DLC-coated stainless steel bezel, sapphire crystal glass, and a screw-lock case back. It relies on Casio’s Tough Solar charging and Multiband 6 radio-controlled timekeeping.
The Land Mudmaster GWG-B1000-1A3JF is priced at ¥132,000 ($858) and is designed for land-based use. It is built around Casio’s Carbon Core Guard structure, featuring dust, mud, and vibration resistance. This model pairs a black, multi-textured case with a matte olive-green band and tan dial markings.
The Mudmaster’s sensor array differs from the Frogman, swapping the depth gauge for an altimeter and barometer, alongside a thermometer and compass. It also adds Bluetooth connectivity. By pairing the watch with the Casio Watches smartphone app, users can access automatic time adjustments, mission logging, and location tracking features.
Both the Frogman and the Mudmaster incorporate biomass plastics in their resin components, a material Casio has been steadily integrating into its G-Shock lines to reduce environmental impact.
In related news, Casio has recently launched three new Master of G watches in the US with a striking Horizon Gold finish, along with an Apple Watch-shaped moon-phase watch featuring a sleek silver dial.
