Casio has introduced its first automatic watch lineup in India under the EDIFICE brand with the launch of the EFK-100 series. Five models are now available: EFK-100XPB-1A, EFK-100CD-1A, EFK-100D-2A, EFK-100D-3A, and EFK-100D-7A.
The EFK-100 series marks Casio’s entry into the automatic segment in India. The flagship EFK-100XPB-1A features forged carbon in both the dial and case, while the EFK-100CD-1A uses forged carbon in the dial only. Other models replicate the carbon texture through electroforming techniques. Forged carbon, a composite material used in aerospace and automotive applications, combines strength and lightness with distinctive marbled patterns.
All five models use a mechanical movement with automatic and manual winding options. The watches offer a power reserve of about 40 hours, a mean daily rate of -35 to +45 seconds, and operate at 21,600 vibrations per hour with 24 jewels. Each features a see-through case back that reveals the movement in motion. The hacking seconds hand, date display, and phosphorescent-tipped hour and minute hands are standard across the series.
Design details include hollowed sections on the hands for better visibility, mirror-finished beveled indexes, and a ground-finish dial ring. The EFK-100XPB-1A pairs a forged carbon case with a urethane band, while the remaining models use stainless steel bands with polished and brushed finishes. All watches include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and 10-bar water resistance.
With this launch, Casio extends the EDIFICE line’s association with motorsport-inspired design to mechanical watches, combining advanced materials with a focus on durability and performance. The EFK-100XPB-1A is priced at ₹39,995, while the EFK-100CD-1A, EFK-100D-2A, EFK-100D-3A, and EFK-100D-7A are each priced at ₹25,995. The full lineup is now available across Casio outlets and online platforms in India.
In other news, Casio has also expanded its Katsushika Hokusai collaboration to Europe with two G-Shock models, the DW-5600KHG25-1 and DW-5600KHK25-1. First launched in Japan, they feature designs inspired by “Fine Wind, Clear Morning” and “The Great Wave off Kanagawa.”
