Thin and smart Casio Edifice watches
Posted 22 June 2020 by MiriamYou no longer have to choose between a slim and a smart watch, because the 'Speed and Intelligence' chronographs from Casio Edifice are now even thinner and even smarter thanks to a new, adapted movement and energy-efficient Bluetooth synchronization with your smartphone.
Inspiration from high-tech sports cars
The design of the SlimLine series, introduced in 2019, is inspired by high-tech sports cars. The case edge and dial have a hairline finish; a technique that is also used for car parts. The look is further enhanced by the thin profile with a flat glass edge and gracefully shaped shoulders. The four screws on the case represent the compact build of a racing car engine.
But that's just looks. The EQB-1000 watches are first and foremost precision chronographs with all the functionalities required in motorsport. You can, among other things, measure lap times and view them later in the app. A Last Lap Indicator shows the difference from the previous lap time on the built-in sub dial with a range of minus five to plus five seconds. The watch also shows the time in two cities at the same time.
Thin and smart due to improved Casio movement
The Casio Edifice EQB-1000 series has a very slim case, thanks in part to a newly developed, compact movement. Casio reduced the dimensions of each part in 1 / 100th of a millimeter increments by attaching all parts to one side of the circuit board instead of both sides as with previous Edifice Slim Line models. The result is a case thickness of just 8.94 millimeters. That's 4.1 millimeters - 29% - thinner than its predecessor. You can wear this Edifice perfectly with a suit.
You control the smart functions by connecting your watch via Bluetooth® with the app on your smartphone. This way you are always assured of the correct time and much more. Other features include: world time for more than 300 cities, phone finder, fully automatic calendar, battery level indicator, dual time display for 27 time zones and automatic adjustment to home time zone. In addition, you can save up to 200 lap times measured with the chronograph.
Because the Casio Edifice Slim Line watches work on light energy, the battery lasts more than 10 years and the watch runs without being exposed to light, when fully charged and with the energy saving function on, for up to 18 months.
Special Casio Edifice Limited Edition in collaboration with TOM's Racing
The new ECB-10TMS is the result of yet another Edifice collaboration with TOM’s Racing. The base model of the ECB-10TMS is the ECB-10, which already included a weekly timer and other time management features required for races. The new watch is black with red accents, inspired by the Mount Fuji design of the TOM's logo. This logo is in the insert ring which is shaped like a race car caliper.
Race car details
Real attention has been paid to all details; The dial of the watch is made of carbon, which is also used in the construction of racing cars. The strap is thicker at the end so that it stays in place. Very useful for the team's technicians who are under time pressure. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal ensures good visibility from all angles on the beautiful dial.
To celebrate Edifice's 20th anniversary, the number "20" on the bezel is marked in red, and the case back features the inscription "20th Anniversary Edifice". Like the EQB-1000, the ECB-10TMS is a Bluetooth watch with extensive smart functions, including an advanced chronograph with space for 200 laps in memory.
