Casio America announced the launch of its latest addition to the iconic Frogman line – the GW8230NT-4.

Sporting a vivid red hue, the GW8230NT-4 was crafted using state-of-the-art technologies to aesthetically reproduce everything from the distinctive asymmetric case to the dial component. Combining old and the new, the GW8230NT-4 was upgraded for today’s wearer by including Tough Solar charging, which converts sunlight into energy, reducing the need for battery replacements. In addition, the bezel and band of the watch are made with bio-based resins produced using renewable organic resources, making it eco-friendly and reducing its ecological footprint. The watch also gets an upgrade from an Electroluminescent Backlight to a Super-Illuminator which is a high-brightness LED light for readability in dark conditions.
The diving frog logo familiar to Frogman fans appears within the LCD when the LED backlight is activated and is also engraved on the case back, along with the word “30th” to commemorate the anniversary of the Frogman. Including the series key features like water resistance at overpressure (ISO) being of 200-meter water resistance, Tide & Moon graphs, Dive/Log data and a comfortable band to fit easily around the wrist or sleeve of a wetsuit, tide, making it perfect for tracking diving session logs through the Casio Watches app and more.
