MRG-BF1000E-1A9DR
This product is excluded from voucher codes. Celebrate two anniversaries in premium style with a limited-edition MR-G FROGMAN that marks the G-SHOCK 40th and the FROGMAN 30th anniversary. EXCLUSIVELY available at G-SHOCK.co.uk. The timepiece comes with both a Dura Soft fluoro rubber band in the limited-edition yellow used for the original FROGMAN model and a striking bracelet-type band in titanium. Easily swap out the band using the dedicated mounting tool that comes with the set to remove the side pins while pressing the buttons on the lugs' undersides. Raised index marks are carefully hand-painted with a generous layer of glow-in-the-dark yellow paint for the outstanding visibility you need underwater. The screw-lock case back, fit with sapphire crystal finished in gold vapor deposition, is engraved with the iconic FROGMAN diving frog character. This 30th anniversary model is based on the MRG-BF1000, a premium, full-metal G-SHOCK MR-G timepiece for the sea. Titanium-clad, airtight with ISO 200-meter water resistance, the MRG-BF1000E joins the FROGMAN family of full-fledged diver’s watches with meticulous attention to detailed perfection. Its unique asymmetrical design, screw-lock case back and distinctive diving frog character — which were so popular when FROGMAN came out back in 1993 — take the diver’s watch to a whole new level. The resin originally used for the complex design of the first FROGMAN is replaced with titanium. Each component is crafted separately and polished meticulously to bring luxe MR-G quality to the FROGMAN line of diver's watches. Pure titanium is treated with a deep-layer hardening process, DLC coating and gold-coloured ion plating for even greater strength. An intricate combination of over 70 exterior components, the case includes an O-ring waterproof seal to deliver outstanding FROGMAN water resistance and special buffers to strengthen the shock-resistant structure. For enhanced strength, we’ve developed a protective structure with fluoro rubber buffers installed between the multiple bezel parts. This structure features face-guarding functionality that helps to absorb shocks from the front and the sides, as well as protecting the crystal — all while maintaining the beauty in form of the MR-G line.

Specifications
FEATURE1
Meticulous commemorative design
The concept colour is yellow, the hue featured on the very first FROGMAN, the DW-6300, and one of the colours that is symbolic of the line. The crown, buttons, and screws are treated with gold IP. Sapphire crystal is press-fit into the titanium screw-lock case back to ensure a highly airtight structure while maintaining the built-in antenna’s radio wave reception sensitivity. Casio passion for refinement down to the finest details is evident everywhere in the design, with gold vapour deposition, and engravings of the first-generation FROGMAN diving frog character, as well as the words “G-SHOCK 40TH” and “FROGMAN 30TH.”
*Due to the screw-lock construction of the case back, the orientation of the logo and lettering on it may not match up perfectly with the dial.
FEATURE2
Special set with a pair of interchangeable bands
The vivid yellow fluoro-rubber Dura Soft band is highly resistant to staining and hydrolysis. With its flexibility, it offers a comfortable fit on the wrist, as does the specially developed, interchangeable pure titanium band with its many moveable parts. Painstaking processes of treating each link with a deep-layer hardening process and diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating prior to assembly give the titanium band a high-quality, intricate makeup. The band is also extendable so it can even be worn over a wetsuit. Use the dedicated tool to remove the side pins while pressing the buttons on the lugs’ undersides to quickly and easily swap out the band.
FEATURE3
Highly airtight titanium exterior with multi-component structure offering ISO 200-metre water resistance
Lightweight, rust-resistant titanium is used for key exterior components — from the case, bezel, and case back, to the crown, buttons, and screws. The watch is made up of an intricate combination of over 70 exterior components, achieving a powerful and beautiful form. A protective structure offers face-guarding functionality with buffers made of fluoro rubber installed in the space between the bezel and case. A deep-layer hardening process and DLC coating provide even greater strength and abrasion resistance. The case incorporates a crown and case back that both feature a screw-lock construction. These and other features throughout the design keep the watch air-tight to ensure water resistance for diving.

FEATURE4
Neo-Brite index marks: Aglow with masterful techniques
The dial features large index marks that glow in the dark to maintain readability underwater. Recessed portions on the top surface are hand-painted, yielding a thick coating for a more vibrant glow than can be achieved with printing. While applying the coatings evenly is challenging due to the amount of surface area, each piece is carefully finished individually by highly skilled workers employing sophisticated artisanal techniques.
