Casio’s EDIFICE EFK-100 Brings Forged Carbon to Indian Watch Lovers
Casio redefines the Indian watch market with its debut automatic series under the renowned EDIFICE brand. The new EFK-100 lineup combines advanced materials, motorsport style, and premium craftsmanship, setting new standards for design and durability. This launch marks Casio’s move from quartz innovation to the coveted world of automatic mechanical watches—powered by cutting-edge forged carbon technology.
EFK-100 Series Overview: Models and Material Mastery
Five distinct models—EFK-100XPB-1A, EFK-100CD-1A, EFK-100D-2A, EFK-100D-3A, EFK-100D-7A—make up the core of Casio’s EDIFICE EFK-100 launch in India.
Flagship Features
- EFK-100XPB-1A: Both case and dial use premium forged carbon, finished with a urethane band for comfortable wear and sporty edge.
- EFK-100CD-1A: Dial constructed from forged carbon, paired with a classic stainless steel band.
- EFK-100D Variants (2A/3A/7A): Electroformed carbon-texture dials capturing the same motorsport spirit, plus stainless steel bracelets.
Forged carbon is light, strong, and features bold marbled patterns—used in race cars, now on your wrist.
Mechanical Engineering: Movement and Performance
All five EFK-100 models in the EDIFICE collection have sophisticated mechanical movements. Key features:
- Automatic and manual winding: These watches wind themselves as you move, but can also be wound by turning the crown if needed—giving both convenience and hands-on control for aficionados.
- Power reserve: Up to 40 hours—ideal for daily wear or rotation with your collection.
- Operation: The movement beats 21,600 times per hour (vibrations per hour), and uses 24 small jewels (synthetic rubies) to reduce friction for lasting smoothness and precision.
- Accuracy: Mean daily rate ranges from -35 to +45 seconds—a testament to quality assembly.
- See-through case back: Offers a clear view of the movement in action, adding a technical touch for mechanical watch enthusiasts.
Additional highlights include hacking seconds (the second hand stops when the crown is pulled out for precise time setting), a phosphorescent-tipped hour and minute hand (these glow in the dark after light exposure), and a clear date display.
Design Excellence: From Carbon Soul to Sporty Details
Casio’s motorsport DNA shines in the aesthetics and ergonomics of the EFK-100 series:
- Hollowed hands and mirror-finished beveled indexes maximize visibility and elegance.
- The dial ring sports a ground finish for added texture and visual depth.
- Sapphire crystal covers all models. This clear, scratch-resistant material protects the watch face for daily wear.
- 10-bar water resistance means each watch is as tough as it is refined, handling rain, splashes, and more without a hitch.
- EFK-100XPB-1A leans into a sportier vibe with a urethane band; others opt for stainless steel with combined polished and brushed effects.
