G-Shock is celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Master of G Frogman model. Introducing the G-Shock Limited Edition Frogman model GWFA1000APF-1A, it’s available now at Grahams. The new Limited Edition Frogman is an amphibious watch which means it is perfect for both on land and in the sea.
The Frogman GWFA1000APF-1A’s design was inspired by the poison dart frog which is found rarely in the Amazon Rainforest. Taking the vibrant colours from the frog and putting them directly onto the watch was a great choice that makes this timepiece easily stand out from the crowd.
Overview:
Frogman Design
What makes this new G-Shock watch stand out the most is the unique design, which features vibrant blue and orange stripes inspired by the poison dart frogs' vivid colours. There are pieces of translucent resin to protect the case while still allowing the vibrant colours to shine through.
The resin strap is black and features a small intricate pattern of speckles that are made of polarised ink which shifts colour depending on the light and angle you view the watch from. This pattern adds a subtle colour to the strap so it’s not just plain black.
On the back of the case, you will find an engraved Frogman character that resembles the Amazonian poison dart frog. A nice addition that watch enthusiasts can appreciate.
The dial is as eye-catching as the flashy case with its red hour indices, blue and white hour hands and red seconds hand. The poison dart frog inspiration can truly be seen in every part of this beautiful timepiece. The dial has also been set with three subdials that give the wearer more information at the glance of their wrist.
