New: G-SHOCK Frogman 30th Anniversary Edition GW-8230B-9ADR
Casio releases the remake of the G-SHOCK Frogman for the 30th Anniversary of the first release in 1993. Press release details.
The price for the limited edition G-SHOCK Frogman 30th Anniversary Edition GW-8230B-9ADR is SGD 899 inclusive of GST. As has become customary in Casio G-SHOCK limited editions, the edition size is not stipulated.
First released in 1993, the G-SHOCK Master of G FROGMAN timepiece made waves for its capability of withstanding the ISO standard of 200 metres to effectively be certified as a dive watch.

This year, as it celebrates 30 years, G-SHOCK is proud to release a new FROGMAN limited edition model that commemorates the milestone by recreating the look of the second-generation FROGMAN DW-8200. The DW-8200 became an instant hit when it was first released thanks to its iconic asymmetrical FROGMAN form and impactful design created by the resin bezel and titanium case.

G-SHOCK FROGMAN 30th Anniversary Limited Edition
This new revival model deviates slightly from the original with a bezel and band made of biomass plastic, a first for the FROGMAN series. It also features a new solar panel that more faithfully reproduces the shape of the dial of the DW-8200 and supports the watch’s Tough Solar power system.

The colouring of the new model, matte black with pale gold, also recreates the look of the popular DW-8200B-9A. Turn the watch over and you’ll find a special FROGMAN 30th anniversary “Shock Resist” logo engraved on the back cover of the titanium case. The logo also appears on the display when the illumination is turned on.
