Considering its iconic status in the watch world, Casio actually didn’t make a fully mechanical wristwatch until last year. Previous models had always been quartz-powered, but the debut of the EFK-100 in 2025, under the Edifice sub-brand, marked a significant new direction for the Japanese brand.
This was quickly followed by the 2nd-gen version, the EFK-110, which updated the movement, decreased the case size and revised the dial design.
Still the only line of automatic watches, the EFK collection is getting yet another new evolution, but with a twist.
Best Edifice ever?
Not a ton of info has been disclosed as of yet but Casio is readying the EFK-200 for later this summer. From the looks already, we can tell it’s decidedly sportier with a wider, more angular bezel that gives the watch a quasi-cushion aesthetic. This is arguably the best-looking Edifice we’ve seen so far.
The dial itself is largely the same but got cleaned up a bit. The smaller indices between the seconds on the chapter ring have been removed, while the grooved outer dial ring has been taken out completely.
