Casio has launched the Edifice EFR-109 series across Europe at a price of 119 euros per model, according to product listings on the manufacturer’s regional websites. The release introduces a slim 38mm stainless steel form factor to the brand’s lineup as an accessible entry point for smaller-diameter everyday watches.
Casio Edifice EFR-109 Specifications and Design
The EFR-109 lineup features a 45.3 x 38 x 9.8 mm stainless steel case designed to fit easily under a shirt cuff. Casio equips the watches with a slightly curved mineral glass crystal intended to give the dial vintage depth, though the material is mineral rather than sapphire. The watches offer a water resistance rating of 10 bar, a date display positioned at the 3 o’clock mark, applied stick markers, and a thin printed index ring along the outer perimeter of the dial. Inside, a quartz movement delivers an accuracy of plus or minus 20 seconds per month, powered by an SR920SW battery rated for approximately three years of operation.
Colorways and Strap Options
Casio offers four distinct color variants within the initial European rollout, split between steel bracelets and leather straps. Three models feature stainless steel bracelets with a triple-folding, one-touch opening clasp: the EFR-109D-1A sports a black dial, the EFR-109D-2A features a marinblå (navy blue) dial, and the EFR-109D-3A pairs a green dial with gold-colored hands and markers. The fourth version, the EFR-109L-7A, swaps the metal bracelet for a perforated brown leather strap and features a cream-colored dial. This leather-strap variant serves as the focal point for Casio’s marketing materials, which feature a Toyota 2000GT from the Toyota Automobile Museum in the background alongside promotional text highlighting timeless sports car design.
Pricing and Availability in Europe
All four models are listed at 119 euros on Casio’s European web platforms, including the Spanish, Dutch, and German sites, where they currently display a “kommer snart” (coming soon) status without a fixed release date. However, the German blog Uhren-Nerd reports that the official launch date for the German web store is set for October 1.
Pro Tip: Weight Differences
Keep strap materials in mind when choosing a model. The steel bracelet configurations weigh 97 grams each, whereas the lightweight leather-strap EFR-109L-7A weighs just 44 grams.
