Casio Edifice paves the way to the future. Introducing four models equipped with cutting-edge technology

For those looking for both functionality and good looks in a watch, we recommend the Casio Edifice. Casio is a brand that pursues usability by incorporating its unique electronics technology and features. We will introduce the features of the Edifice and noteworthy models with each built-in function.

Casio Edifice: A fusion of analog and technology

Casio, a Japanese electronics manufacturer, offers a number of popular watch brands, including G-SHOCK. One of these is the Edifice brand, which offers multifunctional "sporty metal analog watches." Edifice's watches have three main features:

Casio's unique innovative technology

The first thing that stands out about the Edifice is that it incorporates electronics technology from Casio, an electronics manufacturer. At first glance, it looks like a regular analog sports watch, but it is actually a wristwatch with a wide range of functions.

The features included vary depending on the collection, but Edifice watches have the following types of functions.

・Smartphone link
-Stopwatch with lap memory
・Dual dial world time
・Radio wave reception
・Automatic needle position correction
- Tough Solar (Casio's proprietary photovoltaic technology)

There are also high-performance models that combine multiple functions. For example, stopwatches with lap memory that have Bluetooth connectivity can not only transfer data to a smartphone, but also display records in 1/1000-second increments if you use the dedicated app.

A sporty and sophisticated face

Although the look of Edifice watches varies depending on the collection, they all have a consistent sporty and sophisticated design. With a simple and sophisticated three-hand model, you can enjoy a look that combines a sporty atmosphere with elegance.

Even models with a mechanical look, such as chronographs, have an appealingly understated design. They are designed to be easy to wear not only for sports but also for everyday use.

A diverse collection

One of Edifice's defining features is its collections, which are clearly categorized according to user needs. The Edifice collection consists of the following four types:

・Smartphone link model
・Radio wave solar model
・Standard solar model
・Color dial model

As the name suggests, the Smartphone Link model is a collection that can connect to a smartphone via Bluetooth, making watch functions such as time adjustment and world time more convenient to use. The radio solar model and standard solar model are equipped with Tough Solar, eliminating the need for regular battery changes.

Although the color dial models do not have any special functions, this collection highlights Casio's watchmaking technology, with features such as 10 bar water resistance and a thin case that is only 7.8 mm thick.

Recommended Casio Edifice models

Casio's Edifice watches are categorized into collections to make it easy to choose based on the desired features and the occasion in which they will be worn. We will introduce one recommended model from each collection that is suitable for business wear.

Color dial model EFR-S108DJ-3AJF

Among the color dial models, we recommend the new 2024 model, the EFR-S108DJ-3AJF. The case and bracelet are made of stainless steel, and the combination of hairline and satin finishes prevents it from appearing overly flashy. The subdued, sunray-finished green dial adds a touch of elegance.

The octagonal flat bezel with four screws on the outside is also impressive, combining the appropriate dynamic feel characteristic of Edifice with a refined elegance.

Other variations include white, blue, turquoise blue, and black, all of which will go well with a wide range of outfits, from casual wear to suits.

Smartphone Link Model Mechanic Tool Design ECB-2000YTP-1AJF

If you like the solid look of tools, you might like the Mechanic Tool Design ECB-2000YTP-1AJF smartphone link model. With a finish that evokes the pure metal feel, knurling on the bezel and push buttons, and precise scales, it's finished like the tools used by professional car racers.

The black-based color scheme is not too sporty and goes well with subdued clothing. The strap is made of resin, so it will be lighter and more comfortable to wear than a watch with a metal bracelet or leather strap.

In addition to being compatible with smartphones and apps, the watch also comes with a full range of functions, including world time, alarm, timer, and full auto calendar. This is a must-have watch for car enthusiasts looking for a multi-function watch.

Radio wave solar model EQW-T660DB-1BJF

From the radio solar models, we would like to introduce the "EQW-T660DB-1BJF" equipped with dual dial world time.

The subdial at 3 o'clock displays the world time in 24-hour format, which also adjusts for daylight saving time. The world time displays 29 time zones around the world. While most world time models have the city codes engraved on the dial, the EQW-T660DB-1BJF has the city codes engraved on the case back, resulting in a wide, highly visible dial.

Another attractive feature is the time correction function that receives radio waves, allowing you to always check the accurate time. It receives signals from multiple stations in Japan, the US, Europe, and China, making it easy to adjust the time even when traveling abroad. The power source is Tough Solar, and when fully charged, it can run for approximately five months without solar power, even when using all functions.

Standard solar model EFS-S560YDC-1AJF

Although the standard solar model does not have a radio wave correction function, it has the convenience of a solar charging system that eliminates the need for regular battery replacement.

Of the four standard solar models, the EFS-S560YDC-1AJF is a stylish chronograph model with a black IP finish. While the case and bracelet are unified in black, the red accents used on the subdial hands and bezel scale add a sporty impression.

Although it is not as multifunctional as the radio-controlled solar model EQW-T660DB-1BJF, it does have the minimum number of convenient functions, such as a stopwatch, date display, and battery indicator.

Casio Edifice: Toughness and Functionality

Casio's Edifice is a brand of analog sporty watches that caters to the needs of its users with a wide range of products. Although the functions vary depending on the collection, the watches incorporate the cutting-edge technology that is unique to Casio.

Within each collection, there is a wide range of designs, from sporty to sophisticated. Consider the elements you want in a watch and the occasions you want to wear it in, and find the one you like.
