July 9, 2025 — Watch enthusiasts, rejoice! Casio’s acclaimed Edifice line, long celebrated for its fusion of precision engineering and bold aesthetics, is expanding its reach. The much-anticipated EFK100 series, previously available in select markets, is now officially en route to the United States. For fans of accessible yet feature-packed timepieces, this is news worth setting your chronograph to.
Why the Buzz?
The EFK100 isn’t just another chronograph—it’s a statement. Drawing inspiration from motorsports (a signature Edifice theme), the watch boasts a layered dial with 3D indices, sapphire-coated crystal for scratch resistance, and a sleek stainless steel case that’s both rugged and refined. At just 10.9mm thick, it wears comfortably for daily use, whether you’re at the office or on a weekend adventure.
Key features include:
- Solar-Powered Toughness: Casio’s proprietary Tough Solar tech ensures the watch runs for months without a battery swap.
- Bluetooth Connectivity: Sync with your smartphone for atomic-clock accuracy and effortless time-zone adjustments.
- 100M Water Resistance: Swim, shower, or sail without a second thought.
- Racing-Inspired Details: Subdials mimic dashboard gauges, while bold color accents (like the fiery red second hand) pop against matte black or deep blue dials.
The US Launch
After months of requests from stateside collectors, Casio confirmed the EFK100’s stateside arrival this morning. "The Edifice line embodies innovation meeting style," said Maria Chen, Casio’s Global Marketing Lead. "Bringing the EFK100 to the US felt like a natural step for our community."
