G-SHOCK Master Of G FROGMAN Celebrates 30 Years With Multi-Color Poison Dart Frog Timepiece

Anniversary model of FROGMAN

G-SHOCK debuted the anniversary model of FROGMAN, which is inspired by the poison dart frogs of the Amazon rainforests in South America.

Released in 1993, the FROGMAN timepiece sets a precedent as the G-SHOCK Master of G model that can resist the ISO standard for diving to 200 metres.

Based on the GWF-A1000 model, the latest G-SHOCK FROGMAN Poison Dart is dressed in an exquisite pattern of a poison dart frog. 

The bezel features laminated multi-color carbon and fibreglass that are sculpted to replicate the mysterious colouring of the poison dart frog. Along with the semi-transparent urethane material, it resembles the skin of a poison dart frog.

The poison dart frog is illustrated on the back cover of the watch, highlighting its uniqueness as part of the FROGMAN series.

Apart from its full analog dial display,  the G-SHOCK FROGMAN Poison Dart boasts innovative features similar to those of its initial model. 

It has a fluoroelastomer band with polarised colour spray paint that has been expertly applied to the band to emulate the texture of the poison dart frog’s body. This allows the colour to change depending on the viewing angle and lighting. While, the fluoroelastomer material resists dirt and hydrolysis.

The watch’s face is made of sapphire crystal, a highly scratch-resistant material that has an anti-reflective coating on the inside surface.

Equipped with dive mode, it displays both dive time (clockwise second hand movement) and surface interval time (counter clockwise movement). In tide mode, the indicator dial at three o’clock showcases tide information for a specific location. The dial at eight o’clock indicates the current time at the location.

The G-SHOCK FROGMAN Poison Dart supports Smartphone Link, which wirelessly connects to a plethora of Bluetooth-enabled devices. With just an application, you can access auto time adjustment, simple watch settings, approximately 300 world time cities, and activate a phone finder feature.

Moreover, the watch also has a Tough Solar Power feature, allowing it to recharge itself on solar energy for longer battery life. Its other noteworthy features include the G-SHOCK seal of shock resistance, 200-metre water resistance, hourly time signals, countdown timer, and hand shift feature.

The Poison Dart Frogman watch is priced at $1,699 and will be available for purchase on its official website and at all G-SHOCK stores from 2nd February 2023.
