FEATURES
Forged carbon: Imbued with functionality and design sensibility
EFK-200XPB
Forged carbon — a material also used in high-end sports cars — is used for the dial and case. Featuring the singularly striking patterns characteristic of the material, the design captures the sports car worldview of constantly speeding toward ever higher performance, expressed in a uniquely EDIFICE style.
Forged carbon
Originally developed in the aerospace sector and now increasingly utilized in the automotive industry, forged carbon is a composite material made by kneading carbon fiber into resin and then forging it in a press die at high temperatures under intense pressure. Delivering both high rigidity and light weight, this advanced material features beautiful, distinctive marbled patterns created in the manufacturing process.
Elegant case design with gently shaped lines
Carved with flowing contours, the edges of the bezel slope gracefully. The lugs present a gentle curvature, seamlessly connecting the compact 38 mm (EFK-200XPB: 38.8 mm) case to the band. The combination of flat surfaces and curved lines creates a fluid sculptural beauty of elegant proportions. Separately applied hairline and mirror finishes give the metal components brilliant radiance with a look of impressive hardness.
Solid stainless-steel band
EFK-200CD, EFK-200D, EFK-200DG
Solid stainless steel is used for the band, accentuating the sense of unity with the metal case. Rounded H-links are paired with center links featuring mirror-polished edges to create a design of real refinement.
Dial design with refined flair
The simple dial, featuring three hands and a date display, highlights the distinctive aesthetic of the forged carbon design. The tapered hands and indexes add impressions of streamlined sophistication to the chic, unified look of the models with black dials.
On the colored dial models, intricate textures created with electroforming are set off with lustrous gradated finishes, evoking the classy interiors of luxury cars and the cityscapes that reflect off the car as it cruises by.
Made-in-Japan automatic movement: Visible through the see-through case back
The watch is powered by an automatic movement, capturing a sense of passion and dynamism inspired by the motion of an internal combustion engine. The sweep-motion seconds hand glides gracefully, marking the passage of time. A screw-lock, see-through case back reveals the movement in action, showcasing its mechanical beauty.
Butterfly clasp
EFK-200XPB
Featuring an all-black design, the watch pairs a forged carbon case with a urethane band, delivering both strength and light weight. The push-button butterfly clasp allows for quick, effortless attachment and removal.
Sapphire crystal
Scratch-resistant highly transparent sapphire crystal delivers excellent clarity and readability.
