Casio unveils two new Edifice EFR-539G chronographs in rose gold and gold finishes

Casio is preparing to launch two new watches in its Edifice chronograph lineup this November: the EFR-539G-2AV and EFR-539G-3AV. Both models are now listed on the company’s global and Singapore websites, indicating an imminent launch in various markets later this month.

Design Details

From a hardware perspective, these are large, heavy watches. Both models measure 54.1 x 49.5 x 11.7 millimeters and weigh 184 grams. The case and bezel are made from a combination of stainless steel and aluminum. The primary difference between the two new models comes down to the color palette.

The EFR-539G-2AV pairs a dark navy dial with rose gold ion plating on the bezel and the center links of the stainless steel band. The EFR-539G-3AV uses a green dial and replaces the rose gold with a standard gold ion-plated finish.

Both watches use mineral glass over the dial and feature a screw-lock back plate. The stainless steel bracelet secures with a standard one-touch, three-fold clasp, which is designed to fit wrist sizes ranging from 150 to 205 millimeters.

Like most watches in the Edifice series, they carry a 10-bar water resistance rating, meaning they can handle depths up to 100 meters and are fine for everyday water exposure or swimming.

Internally, there are no changes to the standard quartz movement. The watches run on a single SR920SW battery, which Casio estimates will need to be replaced every two years. Timekeeping accuracy is standard for this category, rated at plus or minus 20 seconds per month.

The dial features three central hands for hours, minutes, and seconds, along with a date display. It also includes three subdials for the chronograph function, measuring 1/10th of a second, minutes, and seconds. The stopwatch can measure up to 59 minutes and 59.9 seconds, with support for elapsed time, split time, and first- and second-place time measurements.

Pricing

Both models are currently listed on the Casio Singapore website for S$259.00 ($201) and are expected to launch in other countries soon.

In related news, Casio has recently launched four new analog-digital Vintage watches in the US, alongside the metal-clad G-Shock GM-6900XG-8 collaboration watch featuring a translucent band.
