Casio is bringing a new set of mechanical watches to the US market under its motorsport-focused Edifice brand. The new EFK110D series, which initially launched in Japan earlier this month, is now listed on Casio’s US website with a retail price of $300.
Design Details
The EFK110D line includes three models differentiated by their dial colors: the EFK110D-1A in black, the EFK110D-2A in blue, and the EFK110D-7A in white. One of the primary hardware details is the case size. Casio built these watches with a 38mm stainless steel case, a relatively compact footprint compared to the larger designs often found in the sports watch category. The case measures 11.8mm thick, and the watch weighs 143 grams when paired with its included solid stainless steel bracelet.
For the dial, Casio used an electroforming process to add a physical texture to the surface. The layout is straightforward, featuring partially hollowed hour and minute hands, applied bar indexes with brushed finishes, and a standard date window. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, which provides standard scratch resistance for daily wear.
Inside the case, the watch is powered by a Japanese automatic movement. It is a 21-jewel mechanism operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, providing a standard 42-hour power reserve. It features a hacking function, meaning the seconds hand stops when you pull the crown out to set the time accurately. The movement is visible through a screw-lock, see-through case back.
Casio rates the accuracy at -20 to +40 seconds per day. This is typical for entry-level mechanical movements and generally sufficient for everyday wear. The watch also includes a solid stainless steel bracelet with a one-touch three-fold clasp and 100-meter water resistance, making it suitable for swimming and daily use.
While Casio has not announced a specific date for when pre-orders/availability will open, the official US listings indicate the watches are scheduled to become available for purchase later in May.
In related news, Casio also launched the $880 rainbow-finish metal G-Shock watch recently in the US, alongside five new Electro Green G-Shock models with neon accents.
