TOKYO, July 11, 2025 — Casio continues to push the boundaries of sports chronograph design with its latest release: the Edifice EFR-539DE series, featuring a striking three-dimensional bezel that redefines the brand’s signature fusion of precision and style. Targeting urban professionals and motorsport enthusiasts alike, these watches blend rugged functionality with head-turning aesthetics.
A Bezel That Demands Attention
The standout feature of the EFR-539DE is its sculpted, multi-layered bezel—crafted from brushed stainless steel with angular cutouts that create dramatic light-play. Unlike traditional flat bezels, this 3D design adds depth and aggression to the 44.5mm case, evoking the aerodynamic lines of high-performance vehicles. The bezel’s raised markers enhance readability while lending a tactical edge, making it a conversation starter both in the boardroom and at the track.
Precision Meets Everyday Durability
Powered by Casio’s reliable quartz chronograph movement, the EFR-539DE offers 1/20-second stopwatch functionality, date display, and luminous hands for low-light clarity. The matte black dial (featured in the flagship EFR-539DE-8AV model) contrasts sharply with silver subdials and red chronograph accents—a nod to Edifice’s racing heritage. Water-resistant up to 100 meters and shielded by sapphire-coated mineral glass, it’s built to endure daily wear, from commutes to weekend adventures.

Designed for the Modern Explorer
The integrated bracelet seamlessly extends the case’s dynamic profile, tapering from 22mm at the lugs to 18mm at the clasp for a balanced fit. Casio also emphasizes comfort: the bracelet’s fine-adjustment clasp accommodates wrist swelling during activity, while the anti-reflective coating ensures glare-free readability. At just 11.9mm thick, it slips effortlessly under shirt cuffs—proving that robust tool watches needn’t sacrifice elegance.
Edifice: Where Engineering Meets Emotion
As part of Casio’s motorsport-inspired Edifice line, the EFR-539DE embodies "Speed and Intelligence." Since 2000, Edifice has partnered with racing giants like Scuderia AlphaTauri, infusing timepieces with track-bred innovation. This new release continues that legacy, marrying stopwatch precision with avant-garde design—all at an accessible ¥35,000 JPY (approx. $220 USD) price point.
Availability
The EFR-539DE series launches globally this August via Casio’s online store and authorized retailers. Three colorways will debut: stealthy black (EFR-539DE-8AV), navy-blue dial with silver accents, and a two-tone gold/black variant for those craving extra flair.
