🗞 What’s New?! 🗞️

🤯 WAIT! A Mechanical Casio?! 🤯

Yes, you read that right👀

Casio have just officially entered the mechanical watch world with the Edifice EFK-100 series! 🚗🔧

Casio

So first things first, the EFK-100 collection debuts with five models 👇

  • EFK-100CD-1A - Silver/ Black Dial

Casio

  • EFK-100D-2A - Silver/ Blue Dial

Casio

  • EFK-100D-3A - Silver/ Green Dial

Casio

  • EFK-100D-7A - Silver/ White Dial

Casio

  • EFK-100XPB-1A - Black/ Black Dial - Forged Carbon

Casio

All offering a whole lot of choice & versatility with their respective colourways! 🎨

So, as you can see, we’ve got four models featuring stainless steel cases, which are 39mm in diameter, 43.50mm lug to lug & 12.50mm thick. ⚙️

Casio

While the fifth model, the EFK-100XPB-1AJF, stands out with a carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) case combined with stainless steel, weighing just 87 grams for a sportier look & feel. 🏎️

Casio

All models boast sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating for clarity & durability, along with 100m of water resistance. Impressive for an automatic watch at this price point. 🌊

Taking a closer look into their dials, The EFK-100CD-1AJF features a forged carbon dial, while the others simulate this effect with textured dials. 🌟

Casio

Now, most importantly, what movement is inside? 🤔

Powering each EFK-100 model is the Seiko NH35A calibre, a reliable automatic movement visible through their transparent casebacks. It operates at 3Hz, offers 40-hour power reserve, hacking seconds, date display & 24 jewels. ⏱️

Casio

Priced to be accessible, these range from ¥49,500 (~$340) to ¥74,800 (~$515), depending on the model, with the forged carbon case option at the higher end. 💸

The collection launches in August 2025, marking Casio’s significant entry into mechanical watches. 🚀

Casio

I’m liking this series, while it may not be revolutionary in terms of complications, it definitely serves as a fantastic entry point for Casio into the world of mechanical watches.

The “newness” factor is sure to attract a lot of Casio fans, eager to see how the brand brings its legendary reliability and toughness to the automatic watch scene. 🤝

Combine that with the mechanical watch enthusiasts who are always looking for great value & you’ve got the perfect recipe for a hot cake (best-seller) imo. 👍

As always, let me know what you think!👇

🟢🟡 G-Shock Drop a Pair of Green & Gold MRG-B2000s! 🟡🟢

Introducing the MRG-B2000BG-3A & MRG-B2000RG-3A, two absolute beasts in G-Shock’s MRG lineup, set to drop this month! 🔥

Casio

These two models are inspired by kurogane-iro, the blue-green hue of heated iron, famously used in samurai armor. ⚔️💚

The titanium cases are treated with deep-layer hardening & finished in green DLC (diamond-like carbon). 💪

The solid titanium band also gets the dark green DLC finish, nicely complementing the design. 🎨💎

Casio

The dial features Japanese folding screen-inspired designs, with finely textured surfaces & polished edges that echo the curve of a samurai sword blade. 🏯🗡️

Each index is carefully crafted with a grind-mark finish using state-of-the-art nano-processing from Yamagata Casio. 🛠️🔍

Casio

The finish includes Sallaz polishing & a double-hardening treatment, with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal for ultimate clarity. 💎👀

Functionality-wise, the MRG-B2000BG boasts Multiband 6, Bluetooth, Tough Solar, & all the rest of your standard G-Shock features. 📡🔋

Casio

These stunning timepieces come with a very MRG-like price tag of ¥385,000 (approx. $2,700) & are starting to drop worldwide right now! 💰
