Official EFS-S510 Series Description. The EFS-S510 series is a successful combination of male design and luxury features. The inscription “Solar Powered” on the dial means only one thing – the watch has a solar battery, which does not require periodic replacement and is charged from daylight. Sapphire crystal – does not scratch, does not glare and has maximum transparency. Like all Edifice automobile chronographs, there is a stopwatch here, the parameters of which are displayed in add. windows on the dial. The back cover is screwed, which positively affected the tightness of the case. The battery level can be monitored in a special indicator, and in a separate window time is displayed in a 24-hour format.

Speed & Intelligence. Technologies continue to advance, with EDIFICE leading the way. This multi-function chronograph from CASIO is actively forwarding the evolution of electronic technologies. EDIFICE combines a fusion of dynamic forms with elaborate face designs, and provides leading-edge, accompanied by uniquely original expressions produced by the movements of various hands. These features are transporting the chronograph into new realms, and unlocking the hidden possibilities they contain.

EDIFICE Design. Bold, fascinating forms and fine details, combined with simple styling that brings out the essence of metal, give birth to products with clearly designed identities.

Drawing and modeling. A prototype is produced based on a sketch using CAD and a 3D printer. A bold design concept takes shape.

Bold index. An edgy, striking large index is laid out on the dial. Robust modeling with straight lines and basic tones evokes a strong presence.

Forged stainless-steel case. After forging and heat treatment of the stainless-steel material, precision machining is conducted to complete the boldly designed case form.

Polished finishing. Polish finishing by the hands of skilled craftsmen produces beautiful mirror surfaces on the forge-cast stainless-steel case.

Tough Solar. This original solar power system transforms even weak light from sources such as fluorescent lamps into ample energy to provide stable operation of various high-load functions.
