Enjoy Japanese Unique Features in EQS-940!

BLACK PAIRED WITH BLUE

A vivid shade of metallic blue set off against the base colour of black evokes the clean, smart impression of cutting-edge automotive technology. Accents applied to parts including the indicator hands for stopwatch measurements and inset dial enhance the watch’s functional practicality as a chronograph, as well.

CHRONOGRAPH STYLE WITH A SPORTS CAR MOTIF

The dial’s sense of depth and the index marks’ sharp dimensionality exude the speed and power of a sports car. The inset dial ring at the 9 o’clock position features a brake disc motif, while the inset dial at the 6 o’clock position evokes a tachometer.

SOLAR POWER SYSTEM

On a full charge, the solar power system stores enough power to run the watch for about five months without exposure to light.

Crown Operations

Some water-resistant models (10BAR, 20BAR) have a screw-in crown. When you need to perform a crown operation, rotate it towards you to unscrew it. Then pull the crown out. Avoid applying undue force when pulling.

Stopwatch

The stopwatch measures elapsed time in 1-second increments up to 29 minutes, 59 seconds.
Important!
– Do not operate the stopwatch with the crown pulled out.

Exposure to light charges a battery that provides energy to power normal operations for five months on a full charge)
— Сarbon fiber dial (symbolizes the motorsports concept of the EDIFICE lineup)
— High-visibility color of the second hand (the result of feedback from race engineers)
