G-SHOCK continues to push the boundaries of durability and design with the launch of the MRGBF1000 "Goliath Frogman," a premium addition to its respected FROGMAN dive watch series. Inspired by the world's largest frog, the Conraua goliath, this titanium-built timepiece embodies rugged sophistication while delivering performance-level features designed for underwater exploration and beyond.
The FROGMAN line has long been respected among diving professionals and G-SHOCK collectors alike, known for its ISO 200-meter water resistance and bold design language. The MRGBF1000 elevates the line to a new tier of craftsmanship. At $4,900 USD, it's positioned not only as a professional tool but as a statement piece for those who appreciate engineering, aesthetics, and adventure in equal measure.
Built with a full-metal titanium case, the MRGBF1000 is more than a visual homage to nature -- it's a watch engineered for the most demanding conditions. Titanium was chosen for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for both deep-sea dives and everyday wear.
The asymmetrical case design, unique to FROGMAN models, adds to its utility by preventing unnecessary snagging during underwater movement. Individual titanium components are finely finished and polished, reflecting the detailed craftsmanship G-SHOCK's MR-G line is known for. The addition of an O-ring waterproof seal and shock-absorbing buffers ensures the timepiece is protected from impact and water intrusion, maintaining integrity in high-pressure situations.
Nicknamed "Goliath Frogman," the watch draws both name and design cues from the massive Conraua goliath, native to Africa. This influence shows in the vibrant green Dura Soft band, made from fluoro rubber for flexibility and resilience, offering supreme comfort even during long dives or high-movement activities. Orange accents on the seconds and indicator hands mirror the bright coloring found on certain amphibian species, adding a functional pop of contrast for improved visibility.
Every element of the design has a purpose. The subdued yet eye-catching color palette ensures that visibility is never compromised underwater, while also delivering a head-turning profile on dry land.
G-SHOCK has equipped the MRGBF1000 with a suite of intelligent features that extend its usefulness beyond diving. Powered by Tough Solar technology, the watch maintains continuous operation with exposure to light, eliminating the hassle of battery replacement. It also features a Double LED Super Illuminator, enhancing visibility in low-light and deep-water conditions.
For travelers, the watch's Multi-Band 6 time calibration and GPS-based automatic time adjustment ensures it remains accurate no matter where you go. Whether crossing continents or diving in unfamiliar waters, this timepiece keeps pace with the demands of global movement.
As part of the MR-G series, the MRGBF1000 reflects G-SHOCK's top-tier blend of resilience and refinement. It is a tool, yes, but also a collectible -- crafted for individuals who demand both high function and elevated style from their gear. This release further solidifies G-SHOCK's ability to merge technical precision with materials and aesthetics typically reserved for luxury watches.
Whether worn for a technical dive, a business meeting, or international travel, the "Goliath Frogman" is designed to perform -- and impress -- at every turn.
The MRGBF1000 "Goliath Frogman" is now available for purchase directly through G-SHOCK at this official link. Given the collectible nature and limited production of MR-G models, interested buyers would be wise to secure theirs early.
For divers, watch enthusiasts, and fans of rugged elegance, the MRGBF1000 doesn't just keep time -- it tells a story of design inspired by nature and built for life's most demanding adventures.
