A Story of Earth's Genesis, Told in Brilliant Gold
"MAGMA OCEAN" uses a base of G-SHOCK's signature black, accented with red, and the celebratory rose gold and yellow gold of the 35th anniversary, to depict the Earth covered in a "sea of magma" at its creation. This model expresses G-SHOCK's commitment to returning to its origins at this milestone 35th anniversary and continuing to create new value.
The chosen base models are the "MTG-B1000," which fuses metal and resin; the "RANGEMAN GPR-B1000," born from the pursuit of ultimate survival toughness; and the "FROGMAN GWF-1000," which continues to evolve as G-SHOCK's sole diver's watch.
To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the "FROGMAN" in 2018, a model featuring the beloved frog icon in various locations on the watch has been released.
These are placed in subtle locations, making it a fun "frog hunt" to discover them all.
All three models feature the 35th Anniversary logo engraved on the case back and come in special packaging.
