Casio Men’s Edifice Dress Watch Ef-s12d-1avdf

Powerfully styled and packed full of robust timekeeping and environmental features, the Casio Edifice stainless steel watch for men (model EFA119BK-1AV) holds it is own in both professional quarters and rugged outdoor terrain. This round analog/digital timepiece features a black bezel framing a frequent analog dial with white stick hour markers and thin oval skeleton hands. It likewise offers digital windows for showing current date as well as the watch’s chronograph, which may measure events down to 1/100 of a second. Other stopwatch features include a 50-record memory, single stopwatch mode with lap times and total elapsed time, a dual mode with two independent lap times, and a 100-hour capacity. It also includes a thermometer that measures each even-numbered minute. Other timekeeping features include:

• World time with 30 time zones (50 cities) with city code display and daylight saving on/off
• Daily alarm
• Countdown timer with 100-hour range
• Auto-calendar (pre-programmed until the year 2099)
• 12/24 Hour Formats

This watch likewise features a stylishly tapered stainless steel bracelet, ±30-second accuracy per month, Afterglow backlighting, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet)-offering shelter from accidental splashes as well suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and light recreational diving.

The Casio StoryWith the launch of it is firstborn watch in November 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just came across digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic engineering science invented for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field convinced that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market.

In developing it is own wristwatches Casio started out with the basic question, “”What is a wristwatch?”" Rather than plainly making a digital version of the conventional mechanical watch, we thought that the idealisti wristwatch must be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way. Based on this, Casio was capable to invent a watch that displayed the precise time including the second, minute, hour, day, and month — not to mention a.m. or p.m., and the day of the week. It was the initial watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that annihilated the need to reset the calendar due the variation in month length. Rather than using a conventional watch face and hands, a digital liquid crystal display was adopted to better show all the information. This culminated in the 1974 launch of the CASIOTRON, the world’s primary digital watch with automatic calendar. The CASIOTRON won acclaim as a groundbreaking product that represented a finish departure from the established wristwatch.

Casio transformed the conception of the watch — from a mere timepiece to an info device for the wrist — and undertook product planning based on this innovative idea. We developed not only time functions such as global time zone watches, but also other radical new functions using Casio’s own digital technology, including calculator and dictionary functions, as well as a phonebook feature based on memory technology, and even a thermometer function using a built-in sensor. The memory-function watches became our DATA BANK product series, while the sensor watches invented into two distinctive Casio product lines of today: the Pathfinder series displaying altitude, atmospheric pressure, and compass readings.

In 1983, Casio launched the shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch. This product shattered the notion that a watch is a fragile piece of jewelry that needs to be handled with care, and was the result of Casio engineers taking on the challenge of creating the world’s toughest watch. Using a triple-protection design for the parts, module, and case, the G-SHOCK offered a radical new type of watch that was unaffected by strong impacts or shaking. Its practicality was without delay recognized, and it is distinctive look, which embodied it is functionality, became wildly popular, resulting in explosive sales in the early 1990s. The G-SHOCK soon adopted respective new sensors, solar-powered radio-controlled technology (described below), and new materials for even better durability. By always employing the latest technology, and continuing to transcend established thinking with regards to the watch, the G-SHOCK brand has become Casio’s flagship timepiece product.

Today, Casio is focusing it is attempts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery does away with the irritation of replacing batteries, and the radio-controlled function means users never have to reset the time. In particular, the radio-controlled function represents a revolution in time-keeping engineering similar to the affect developed when mechanical watches gave way to quartz technology. Through the further development of high radio-wave sensitivity, miniaturization, and bettered energy efficiency, Casio proceeds to invent a whole range of radio-controlled models.
