Elevating the MR-G Frogman, G-Shock Introduces the MRG-BF1000B1A in a Luxury Titanium Iteration
G-Shock has just unveiled a new version of its Frogman diver's watch, taking the unmistakable design to new heights - or depths - by giving it a titanium twist. With its solid yet lightweight case, high functionality and Bluetooth connectivity to access dive data and information, this solar-powered and radio-controlled timepiece is a modern tool watch that will accompany you on all kinds of adventures underwater and on land. It offers typical functions such as alarms, a second time zone and a tide indicator. The new model also features a chronograph, countdown and perpetual calendar.
The exterior silhouette of the MRGBF1000B1A remains characteristically asymmetrical, with each side of the case featuring different pushers. With dimensions of 56mm by 49.7mm by 18.6 mm, it has quite an entrance on the wrist, but remains comfortable thanks to its clever design in lightweight titanium. This includes a sapphire crystal that is press-fit into the pure-titanium screw-lock case back, ensuring an airtight structure and water-resistance to 200 meters while improving the built-in antenna’s radio wave reception sensitivity. The reverse side is made of vapor red sapphire crystal which is engraved with a frogman logo.
The watch features a custom-designed titanium bracelet, which offers a comfortable fit on the wrist thanks to its many moveable parts. Each link is treated with a deep hardening process and DLC coating before assembly, giving the band a high-quality finish. It is also extendable so it can be worn over a wetsuit.
Pricing is marked at $5,800.
