Official EFR-552 Series Description. The classic, affordable, Edifice chronograph with a retro-style, automotive-style dial. To measure the elapsed time, the EFR-552 has a stopwatch, the minutes of which are displayed in a retrograde window at 10 o’clock, the arrow of which, when it reaches the extreme position, jumps to the beginning rather than rotating in a circle – this design element resembles a scale on the dashboard of a car. The case is quite large [53 × 47 mm], so there will definitely be no problems with the readability of the dial. The back cover with screw lock reliably protects the watch from moisture and dust inside the case and facilitates the process of replacing the battery. The display has a date window showing the current day of the month.
