G-SHOCK Frogman Antarctic Research ROV GWF-D1000ARR-1 Limited Edition

Brand New Unused with plastics tags on the buckle and the back. Originally purchased in Japan. Original box, packaging and papers are included, just no paper label.

G-SHOCK, the watch that supports professionals engaged in activities under various severe environments around the world, is proud to announce a new Antarctic Research ROV collaboration model. This new collaboration model was jointly developed by CASIO and Shimpei Goto, Assistant Professor at the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology as a navigation device of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) that was used for joint research on the January 2018 59th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition. The base model is the Master of G FROGMAN timepiece that is designed and engineered for professional diving. Every aspect of this model, including coloring and design, has been selected and refined in close cooperation of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, which used the ROV to conduct actual surveys on Antarctic lakes and wetlands. This model adopts the same bold coloring of the ROV: red, black, orange and blue, while the back cover, backlight, band, and special packaging all adopt designs that incorporate an image of Antarctica.

MORE DETAILS
Antarctic Research Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV)
One of the marine education and research activities of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology is to conduct Antarctic research expeditions in conjunction the National Institute of Polar Research. The 59th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition performed a 3-dimensional mapping survey of moss pillars (life forms mainly consisting of algae, moss, and cyanobacteria) that live in the wetlands of the Antarctic. The small underwater remotely operated vehicle used by this expedition needs to be tough and as light as possible in order to enable uninterrupted operation under extreme polar conditions. The ROV is being developed by a research team led by Shimpei Goto, Assistant Professor at the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology. It is being used to support research of Antarctic wetland ecosystems, which still have much to reveal to us.
