It is the new Casio Edifice EFK-100, available in five versions, four with a steel case and bracelet and one with a forged carbon case.
After more than 50 years of innovation in the world of watchmaking, Casio writes a new chapter in its history with the new Edifice EFK-100, the first automatic mechanical watch in the brand's history. A debut that represents the natural evolution of a consistent path: from the digital revolution in 1974 to the quest for excellence that has always guided the brand.
The new Edifice EFK-100s are characterised by classic yet innovative aesthetics, elegant yet functional. The collection consists of five automatic mechanical models, two of them with forged carbon dials (EFK-100CD and EFK-100XPB), a composite material made by mixing carbon fibre with resin, which are then forged in a high-temperature press under intense pressure. This process produces a different surface each time, which gives the watches a unique look.
Four of the new Edifice EFK-100s have a 39 mm case and bracelet made of steel. The dial is available in green, blue, white and the aforementioned forged carbon variant. The coloured dials reproduce the effect of forged carbon through a sophisticated electroforming technique.
The fifth model, on the other hand, has a 39 mm forged carbon case (same material used for the dial) combined with a black ultra-soft urethane strap with folding clasp. This model will be available in a limited run and in a few selected outlets. For all, sapphire crystal protecting the dial and guaranteed water resistance to 10 atmospheres.
Edifice EFK-100: the first mechanical-automatic Casio
The new Casio Edifice EFK-100 collection consists of five models.
The new mechanical automatic movement used in the Edifice EFK-100 collection guarantees a power reserve of approximately 41 hours and is visible from the back side (screw-tightened), thanks to the use of a porthole. Its operating frequency is 21,600 alternations per hour.
The new Casio Edifice EFK-100s have a double-layered dial with three-dimensional bar indices and facetted baton spheres with luminescent inserts that guarantee legibility even in the dark. The date window opens at 6 o'clock. The steel bracelet, where present, has a polished and satin finish.
The EFK-100 collection will be available for sale as of 1 August 2025 at selected authorised Casio Edifice dealers, on casio.com and at the G-Shock store in Milan.
