Official EFV-100 Series Description. A classic dial in a minimalist style – when there is nothing superfluous in the watch. No ext. windows or indicators, except for the date – only hands and large hour markers for better readability of the analog zone. The hour hand with a thickening and the second hand with a long and thin tip – almost like the famous “Swiss”. The model is somewhat reminiscent of “divers” – this is evidenced not only by the shape of the hour and minute hands, but also by the screwing back cover for good tightness and protection of the mechanism. Water resistant 100 meters – you can safely dive and swim.

Enjoy our Edifice EFV-100 Watch Review

The readability of the dial is high enough – large hour markers and hands do their job. There is no backlight, but there is a light-accumulating coating on the arrows [but there is little benefit from it]. From the additional information on the dial there is only a date window in the form of the day of the month. The date, of course, is not automatic, so at the beginning of the month you will have to set the number manually. Read Full Review →
