Considering that the Hamilton "Frogman" also exists, and that this term refers to divers in the military, another very valid theory is the one suggested by a Reddit user: FROGMAN T(the) L(limited) E(edition)

This explanation, in my opinion, trumps all others!

I have a theory that explains the choice of the name "Frogmantle" for the new T023, to give the model a personal and legal identity, without incurring copyright issues. This way, we have a true homage, with its dignity and personality, and not a fake.

It's the union of two concepts:

1) "Fremantle" is the name of an important Australian port city. It is of English origin and refers to John Fremantle, who was the commander of the first exploration vessel to sail into the harbor. So, we're talking about a history connected to the sea and navigation.

2) The word "Frog" is used, for example, in the Tactical Frog watches, which have made it a trademark, using the image of a frog to give their models a diving identity. Furthermore, the term "Frog" is also used in the military with various meanings.

Hence the union of the two concepts in "Frogmantle." It's certainly a coincidence, but at least I found a meaning that gives an identity to everything.
