FEATURES

Second-generation FROGMAN design revived

Reviving the design of the second-generation DW8200B released in 1995, which was two years after the launch of the very first FROGMAN. The case and dial components are reproduced faithfully down to the minor details leveraging state-of-the-art technologies, and then finished with a nostalgic black and gold color scheme. The watch also delivers advanced functionality. The GW8230B includes Tough Solar charging and a high-brightness LED backlight, all the while maintaining the original model’s form and size.

Embodying harmony with nature

The bezel and band are made with the Earth-friendly green material known as bio-based resin. Using renewable organic resources such as castor oil plants and corn helps reduce the ecological footprint. Tough Solar charging is included as well, for converting sunlight and other light sources into energy. For all ocean lovers, a diver’s watch that embodies eco-consciousness.

Commemorative diving frog design

The diving frog character familiar to FROGMAN fans is engraved on the case back, inherited from the DW8200B’s design, and also appears on the LCD when the LED backlight is activated. In commemoration of the anniversary of the FROGMAN, the frog is accompanied by the word “30th” as well.

DETAILS

ISO 200-meter water resistance to support diving use

Features a titanium screw-back case. The watch satisfies ISO standards for water resistance, including button operability underwater, enabling its use for diving.
*Due to the screw-lock construction of the case back, the orientation of the logo and lettering on it may not match up perfectly with the dial.

Specs to support diving activities

In addition to dive time and surface interval measurements, memory for up to ten diving logs is included for recording data such as the dive start date/time and the time spent in the water. Tide graphs and moon data also provide handy ways to keep on top of conditions at dive locations.
