Leaving aside the automatic 'True' GMT movement supplied pre-assembled from MIYOTA® Japan (Citizen® Movement Division), each unit of the OX® FROG300 is meticulously assembled by skilled technicians in Shenzhen, from where they are shipped worldwide once completed. In Shenzhen, the production and quality team, including the founder of the company, oversee and ensure that each manufactured unit surpasses any required quality standard, from component manufacturing, assembly, water resistance testing, timekeeping verification, packaging, to the final shipment of each unit.

NOTE THAT: Shenzhen is a China region known for housing the best consumer-to-quasy luxury watchmaking in the world (and we say world because many major European, Japanese, and American brands produce partially or entirely here). And, in Shenzhen we find latest technology manufacturers, like Huawei or Tencent (Apple manufacturer) too.

This limited edition authorized by NASA, limited to 254 units, has a higher price because it comes with 2 straps, a booklet, and special packaging, in addition to its dial with certain complexity in terms of luminescence, which significantly increases the cost of the watch. It is not more expensive because of being associated with NASA or being a limited edition.

Is it a trick question? :-P

We manufacture them ourselves, OX Oceanix® Watches LLC, a company based in the United States / USA, and we assemble and manufacture them in our watchmaking facilities in Shenzhen, where we receive all the necessary parts from highly specialized suppliers (all parts designed and engineered by us). In the case of the automatic 'True' GMT movement, the 9075 caliber, it arrives fully assembled and customized from Japan, where MIYOTA® - Citizen® Movement Division- has a production line and factory.

If you think the selling price of the FROG300 is high, then you haven't taken a look at the market or fully understood what the FROG300 offers.

THE PRICE OF THE FROG300 IS SIMPLY RIDICULOUS, AND HERE'S WHY...

Think about Grade 3i titanium (improved high hardness by OX® development), which is offered by Tag Heuer Aquaracer Solar for €3,100 (a price difference of €1,800 without being automatic or having other advanced functions like our FROG300). We have studied it extensively... we have been working on the FROG300 for almost 2 years (yes, you read that right, we started our project with crowns on the inside and this peculiar - and eccentric - aesthetic in the summer of 2021). Think about a premium mechanical movement, not like the good Casio MRG Frogman that uses a high-tech analog quartz movement with solar power for €4,000 retail price, with a Grade 4/5 titanium case... a great piece, undoubtedly, but easily questionable in terms of price (a big difference of 2,690 Euros) and the functions it offers.

TRANSPARENCY

Think about a highly durable and reputable automatic premium movement - 100% made in Japan, with the guarantee of one of the world's leading watchmakers, MIYOTA®/ CITIZEN® Movement Division (not imitations). Think about high-end luminescence developed based on LumiNova® W9/X1 grades to meet our requirements. Think about an excellent double-curved sapphire crystal with AR coating, a premium FKM strap, and an unparalleled quick-adjust clasp... and above all, think about the fact that everything is about molds, and molds are expensive... while others produce thousands of watch parts in the same mold, we only make 1,000 or 500 - for the whole world - depending on the version: not one more, not one less. If you are a true watch enthusiast and lover, you know that OX® FROG300 is priced more than reasonably: a democratized price, amortizing molds in exchange for top-noch exclusivity, unmatched quality, functions, and components (or comparable to other divers that cost around €7-10,000).

Not to mention, aside from the groundbreaking aesthetics and unparalleled comfort, think about the fact that within its 16mm thickness, you not only have a watch for a lifetime, but with its unique ID+SYS™ Emergency Data system, this Diver's watch (and only this watch) can save your life!

For everything else... AliExpress or Visa Mastercard, It depends on which foot you put forward ;-)

The 'True' GMT movement of the OX® FROG300, provided by the excellent japanese Miyota® 9075 caliber at 28,800 Vph, refers to the type of time adjustment in the watch. In a traditional GMT watch, the adjustment of the second time zone is typically done by turning the second time zone hand, often independently of the main hour hand. However, the term "True" GMT implies a specific method of adjustment.

In the case of the OX® FROG300, the 'True' GMT time adjustment means that the change and adjustment of the time in the watch are made by jumps of one hour in the main hour hand. This is done without stopping the watch or interfering with the 24-hour hand, and the 24-hour hand can be operated independently in another position of the crown. In summary, it facilitates a quick and direct adjustment of the local time, which can be especially useful for travelers who frequently change time zones.

It is a highly appreciated watch feature and complication, as it provides greater convenience and ease of use when switching between time zones, also known as 'Travelers,' a feature used, for example, in Rolex® GMT, Grand Seiko® GMT, or Omega® Ocean GMT movements with dual time zones.
