๐๏ธ Whatโs New?! ๐๏ธ
๐คฏ WAIT! A Mechanical Casio?! ๐คฏ
Yes, you read that rightโฆ ๐
Casio have just officially entered the mechanical watch world with the Edifice EFK-100 series! ๐๐ง

Casio
So first things first, the EFK-100 collection debuts with five models ๐๏ธ
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! ๐จ
So, as you can see, weโve got four models featuring stainless steel cases, which are 39mm in diameter, 43.50mm lug to lug & 12.50mm thick. โ๏ธ

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. ๐๏ธ

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. ๐
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. ๐

Casio
Now, most importantly, what movement is inside? ๐ค
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. โฑ๏ธ

Casio
Priced to be accessible, these range from ยฅ49,500 (~$340) to ยฅ74,800 (~$515), depending on the model, with the forged carbon case option at the higher end. ๐ธ
The collection launches in August 2025, marking Casioโs significant entry into mechanical watches. ๐

Casio
Iโm 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. โ๏ธ
The โnewnessโ 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. ๐ค
Combine that with the mechanical watch enthusiasts who are always looking for great value & youโve got the perfect recipe for a hot cake (best-seller) imo. ๐๏ธ
As always, let me know what you think!๐๏ธ

๐ข๐ก G-Shock Drop a Pair of Green & Gold MRG-B2000s! ๐ก๐ข
Introducing the MRG-B2000BG-3A & MRG-B2000RG-3A, two absolute beasts in G-Shockโs MRG lineup, set to drop this month! ๐ฅ

Casio
These two models are inspired by kurogane-iro, the blue-green hue of heated iron, famously used in samurai armor. โ๏ธ๐
The titanium cases are treated with deep-layer hardening & finished in green DLC (diamond-like carbon). ๐ชโจ
The solid titanium band also gets the dark green DLC finish, nicely complementing the design. ๐จ๐

Casio
The dial features Japanese folding screen-inspired designs, with finely textured surfaces & polished edges that echo the curve of a samurai sword blade. ๐ฏ๐ก๏ธ
Each index is carefully crafted with a grind-mark finish using state-of-the-art nano-processing from Yamagata Casio. ๐ ๏ธ๐

Casio
The finish includes Sallaz polishing & a double-hardening treatment, with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal for ultimate clarity. ๐๐
Functionality-wise, the MRG-B2000BG boasts Multiband 6, Bluetooth, Tough Solar, & all the rest of your standard G-Shock features. ๐ก๐

Casio
These stunning timepieces come with a very MRG-like price tag of ยฅ385,000 (approx. $2,700) & are starting to drop worldwide right now! ๐ฐ๏ธ
