Casio MRG-BF1000RG
What is it: A striking diving watch from the G-shock Frogman series, designed for hardcore adventurers because it perfectly withstands the toughest conditions, above or below water.
Special because: The design of this Frogman, an asymmetric design for maximum freedom of movement, is inspired by the world's largest frog: the goliath frog from the rainforests of West Africa. The strap is khaki-coloured, inspired by the frog's back, and made of supple fluorine rubber for fine comfort. The beige dial details refer to the frog's pale belly and are Neobrite-coated, so you can see them clearly even in the dark. The titanium case features sapphire crystal and the screw-down cover is finished with a green coating reminiscent of the giant frog's eye. When you put the watch into dive mode, the hour and minute hands slide over each other, so you can see at a glance how long you've been underwater. And thanks to Bluetooth connectivity and Multi Band 6 radio-controlled time correction, you'll always stay perfectly on schedule - wherever you are.
Technical specs: Titanium; 56 × 49.7 mm; quartz; radio-controlled; multi band 6; Bluetooth connective; solar powered; sapphire crystal; water resistant to 20 bar.
