G-SHOCK has never shied away from extremes. This May, the iconic brand raises the bar again with the release of the limited-edition MRG-BF1000RG “Goliath Frogman”, a striking new dive watch that fuses the brand’s hallmark durability with the refined craftsmanship of its MR-G line. Inspired by Conraua goliath—the world’s largest frog—this premium timepiece is engineered for those who expect precision and power in equal measure.
Unveiled by Casio America, Inc. on May 29, the Goliath Frogman marks the latest evolution of the famed FROGMAN series, honoring its deep-water heritage while pushing it into the realm of luxury horology.
The MRG-BF1000RG doesn’t just nod to nature—it interprets it with engineering fluency. Its casing is constructed from more than 70 individual components of ultra-durable titanium, each part meticulously polished for both form and function. The bold, asymmetrical silhouette—a signature of the FROGMAN family—is balanced by a green Dura Soft fluoro-rubber strap, a tactile reference to its amphibian muse. Accents in Titanium Carbide Coating (TiC) and black DLC (diamond-like carbon) finish the case, while a green sapphire crystal case back—vapor-deposited for both durability and flair—rounds out the visual depth.
What results is a high-spec aesthetic that doesn’t just survive pressure; it embraces it.
Beneath its sculpted exterior lies the uncompromising functionality expected of the MR-G line. The ISO-certified 200-meter water resistance confirms its place among professional-grade dive watches. Powered by Tough Solar, it uses ambient light for continuous operation, while Bluetooth® connectivity and Multi-Band 6 radio control ensure time accuracy across the globe.
Integrated features include a Super Illuminator LED light for visibility in dark environments, Tide Graph for marine activity, and dual time tracking for up to 300 cities via the CASIO WATCHES app. Add to that diving session logging, 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, daily alarm, and Smartphone Link, and the Goliath Frogman reveals itself as an all-in-one survival companion for both land and sea.
This limited model comes with a $4,900 price tag and is available through select retailers, G-SHOCK Soho Store, and online at gshock.com. For collectors, adventurers, and design purists, the MRG-BF1000RG is a wearable manifesto of strength—an apex predator in the high-performance dive watch category.
As G-SHOCK continues to refine its legacy, the Goliath Frogman doesn’t just swim in deep waters—it owns them.
