A "Super" Practical Watch for the Next-Generation Gentleman

While the beauty of delicate mechanical watches driven by springs is appealing, a tough, practical watch that can withstand rough handling is also undeniably attractive.



When it comes to rugged watches that can be used without hesitation in harsh conditions or during sports, the G-SHOCK, originating in Japan, is the top contender. Among them, the "Master of G Series," specialized for functionality and designed for use in even more extreme environments, is a genuine article favored by professional athletes. The Frogman, its diver's model, has evolved further this season, now equipped with "Multi-Band 6 Radio-Controlled Solar" functionality, making it unmissable. This means, in addition to 200m water resistance for diving, it automatically receives radio waves from six stations worldwide—including Japan, North America, Europe, and China—ensuring a consistently accurate time display. Furthermore, being solar-powered, it boasts an astonishing stamina, capable of continuous operation for approximately 8 months on a full charge (or about 26 months in power-saving mode). It is truly a "super" practical watch, packed with every conceivable function a wristwatch needs.







On weekdays, while working diligently in a suit, one might adopt a reserved "herbivore" persona with a dress watch, but during off-hours, a complete transformation into a "carnivorous man" who actively engages his body is possible. For such scenes, no item matches better than this sharp G-SHOCK. Coincidentally, this season features a variety of G-SHOCK models, not just the Frogman. If you consider yourself a next-generation gentleman who skillfully balances work and leisure, the latest G-SHOCK is the one to choose. After all, men should be tough.

The double front screws, a special icon inherited by successive Frogman models. For this model, the machined stainless steel is treated with a rose gold IP (ion plating).




The buttons on the case side are designed to be larger. This allows for easy operation even when wearing gloves, such as during diving. The functionality-driven design is convincing.

















Not only the case but also the buttons and buckle are treated with highly wear-resistant DLC processing. G-SHOCK's commitment extends to the fine details, not just the appearance, with tough specifications.




The screw-back metal case is coated with DLC, an amorphous carbon hard film second only to diamond. The "frog" on the case back is also a new design.
