Casio Edifice Chronograph Mens Watch: Pro-Grade, Inexpensive And Built To Last

The Edifice story:

Edifice is for the outdoor and motorsports-oriented. Casio brought them under a thorough scrutiny before unleashing sometime later a range of pretty urban-looking watches ready-to-go wherever and whenever. Over the years, they have become bolder, earned more powerful appearances and grew ultra-masculine without deviating much from the time-tested classic watch styles.

Edifice watches are designed in a way that enhances their durability and guards their technical features well. They are the way to make your personal style stand-out in any given minute.

A striking Edifice

A few among the Edifice watches stand out from the rest of the collection; one such is the Black Label Casio Edifice Chronograph Mens Watch. Crafted entirely from stainless steel, it measures 41mm across with 22mm lug distance.  A chronograph sometimes looks better without a tachymeter around the bezel, usually the ones intended to be worn and accepted socially. Thankfully, not every Casio Edifice Chronograph Mens Watch has the feature built-in. It is used to calculate speed over distances.

Edifices: The common and uncommon grounds

The Casio Edifice Chronograph Mens Watch models feature the usual three-subdials on the watch face in addition to the traditional analog watch face. However, not all three are used to measure running time; one is for showing time in a 24-hour format. It’s the central second hand in a Casio Edifice Chronograph Mens Watch that measures the running seconds; for regular seconds, it is one of the sub-dials that it’s assigned for. For some, it is not the usual one-second increment that the chronograph shows; for high-end models, time-splitting is as fine as showing 1/20th second advancements.

The case usually houses two pushers at 2 and 4 positions respectively, with which, you control the chronograph. The crown mostly aids in setting the regular time and date and in higher end Casio Edifice Chronograph Mens Watch models, it helps in selecting the functions.

The Casio Edifice Chronograph Mens Watches use stainless steel, mineral crystals and rubber as the standard materials with high-end, in-house Japanese quartz movements inside, most of which are powered by light energy. This gives greater freedom to the user – in the sense, you don’t need to limit chronograph usage to save power.

The standard watch face hands and numerals are luminescent, which makes them very much legible under dim light conditions. Even under water, for every Mens Casio Watches are designed to withstand water pressure till 300 feet. The only restriction that applies is you can’t start or stop the chrono-operations while under water; you need to start it before getting into water and stop after getting out of it.

Limited Editions

For the real high end Casio Edifice Bluetooth Mens Watch models, you need to look for the World Grand Tourer, the Scuderia Toro Rosso Limited Edition and the Infiniti Red Bull Racing Limited Edition. These are considered the cream of the collection.
