Back in the month of February, the Casio G-Shock MR-G Frogman BF1000RG, which has a military theme, was leaked online. This leak showed off its tough design, including a silver titanium case and a distinctive olive green rubber strap. We previously mentioned that this was a nearly complete reveal, sharing the price and some speculated internal details.
Launch Confirmation
Recently, a new report from Japan has almost confirmed that the watch will launch soon. The model number MRG-BF1000RG-3AJR is specifically noted, and it’s said that the release is “almost certain” to happen in May. This information appears to come from sources at the dealer level and updates from local distributors, but Casio has not yet made any official announcement.
Design Features
The watch maintains the same visuals that we saw earlier in February. It showcases a robust military color scheme—a silver titanium case with beige markers and an olive strap—and will include G-Shock’s top-notch analog dive-watch technology. The casing doesn’t feature a DLC coating; instead, it seems to be treated with titanium carbide.
From a design angle, the Frogman is looking to be one of the more premium military-styled G-Shocks in the analog lineup. A recent post from Great G-Shock World even compares its look to other famous military watches from brands like Breitling and Bell & Ross.
Release and Pricing
However, there’s still no update on when it will be available internationally. Following trends with other MR-G models, the BF1000RG-3AJR will likely debut in Japan first, with a delay of at least a week or more for other places. A price around 600,000 yen (approximately $4,000) is anticipated, as mentioned earlier.
We’ll provide you with new information once there’s a formal announcement or a listing from Casio.
