This is Watchsunset.
The brand to be reviewed this time is Edifis. This is the motorsports chronograph EFB-730D.
The name is the same as BMW’s 730D.
Was this intentional?
This is Edifis
Edifice is a sub-brand of Casio.
It is a high-end brand from Casio.
The relationship is a little strange, isn’t it?
Like Seiko and Grand Seiko
It is not completely independent and operated separately.
Most designs consist of sports watches.
Like Casio, the basic size is very large.
If it is small, it is over 43mm, and if it is large, it is over 50mm.
This is a place that makes huge and tough watches.
Of course, it is more expensive than Casio.
The really expensive ones can go up to several million won.
I don’t think it has arrived in Korea yet.
Compared to cheaper watches like Casio Black Marlin, these are
Is it of exceptionally good quality?
When people buy watches, they like Rolex, Omega, IWC, and Seiko.
Built solidly over decades
Paying big money for abstract values within the castle walls
But Casio is the complete opposite.
Focusing on practical issues such as price and functionality
Selling a lot at a super cheap price.
Because of this fundamental difference, the things Casio creates are
Not only operating methods such as quartz or automatic, but also
There are subtle differences in appearance.
It’s tougher, a little bigger and rougher.
However, among the many jerks that Casio creates from time to time, ith a classic heritage
In particular, the standards that expensive brands have
We have been producing models that do not meet the specifications and purchasing them in droves.
I think this is really well made he size is 40mm.
This is because the bezel is supported by the case below.
You can think of the perceived size as about 38mm.
The thickness is quite thin at 11mm and the lug to rug is a bit long at 48mm. The 20mm lug weight is heavier than expected.
135g KRW 245,000
Cal. 5742 Quartz
Stainless Steel
Sapphire Glass
Screwback Case
10bar, 100m
The specs and balance are really close to perfect.
Among the mechanical chronographs under luxury,
Except Zenith El Primero and Rolex Daytona.
There are very few watches with this level of balance, right?
In addition, the material of the case, glass, and waterproofing were determined.
As long as the quality and details are good, I think you can give me a passing necklace.
The most unique thing about this watch is the case design.
Existing in luxury brand Zenith
This is the case design of Chronomaster Revival.
Zenta of Royal Oak
Rolex Oyster
Omega’s Twisted
Like Seiko’s Skin Diver
It’s already so well known
This is different from the fact that many brands have been borrowing the design for a long time.
Otherwise, this case is not yet popular.
It might be difficult You can identify a specific brand with just one case. There are a total of 3 colors
Blue, black, and the one I bought is silver.
Personally, I don’t like the sunray dial.
Also, I absolutely hate silver-colored dials like this.
But after seeing the real thing, I didn’t worry even for a second.
The quality of the bracelet is poor, just like Casio.
When handling it, the link is not like an empty can like a cheap Casio watch.
The end link is hollow and the buckle is Casio’s.
But the good news is that this watch takes filing really well.
The Zenith Revival has a lot of angles on the case head.
Also, like Genta’s integrated case.
Because it is not structured as one piece with the bracelet.
I don’t like bracelets, and I don’t really like other straps.
But Casio improved this.
The angle of the case was reduced and connected smoothly.
Even if you give up a bit on lug-to-lug, you can pull the case out flat.
The file holds up fantastically well.
Of course, it is possible because it is thin.
Let me show you how well this watch takes care of filing.
The 20mm lug is perfect for filing.
I also like the bright leather strap.
The thick dark leather strap is also good.
I got a good racing strap too.
The NATO strap looks awkward when viewed on its own as a watch.
It’s okay if you put it on your wrist
The rubber is really pretty too, right?
Rather than rubber with patterns like this
A rubber with a completely smooth design is better.
Personally, I think leather is the best.
Next is rubber and last is NATO.
Because the case was made flat,
If you use a one-piece NATO, the fit becomes a little uncomfortable.
But leather and rubber are okay.
My wrist circumference is 17cm and the build quality of the dial is absolutely excellent.
It’s relatively good.
Those of you who have experienced Edifis will know this.
It’s so amazingly good
I thought Casio had no conscience, but these guys have even more of it.
I’ll show you the dial first. The size of the dial and the location of the subdial.
The internal balance is very good.
Luminous light is evenly filled between the trapezoidal indexes.
The face of the index has a high-grade polished finish.
The hands, which are divided into two sides, also have pretty good QC.
Because the QC is good, the luminescence is naturally clean.
Dial sunray brushing is not a soft or dense method.
But I think it matches the saturation of silver very well.
Is it your taste, your hair, or is it really pretty?
Let’s go with a slightly more normal combination of blue or black.
Another reason to choose silver
In the end, the real protagonist in this well-proportioned chronograph is
I think it’s a sub dial
Unlike blue and black, the subdial has a heavy texture.
The harmony of silver sunray brushing
I really liked the feeling of a little bit of balance.
There is a beveling finish at the end of the sub-dial.
It looks as if there is an additional ring.
The index responds to the direction in which the ring shines.
I chose silver after considering various conditions.
No matter what you choose, you’ll always regret it, right?
At least I choose what I’m attracted to
I end up regretting it a little less than if I made a choice based on what others said.
This time, I will show you the build quality of the case.
Facets falling cleanly
Additional glossy and matte cross-finishing
Smooth black polishing without distortion
It doesn’t have a unique charm, but brushing goes beyond the basics.
The engraving on the case back is also neat.
Since it is thin, the lateral balance is also good.
In particular, the polished finish adds an extra 0 to the price.
The quality is so good that it’s not surprising.
I think it is a watch that is out of standard.
I highly recommend it if you like chronographs.
If you regret seeing the actual product after purchasing it, please come see me.
It was Watchsunset.
thank you.
