Casio Edifice EFR-552L-5AVUEF Watch

The Watch

Founded in Tokyo in 1946 by the Kashio brothers, Casio built its reputation on authentic, rugged craftsmanship - first revolutionizing everyday life with scientific calculators, then pushing the boundaries of watchmaking technology. Today, Casio continues to deliver feature-packed timepieces that blend performance with style, made for those who want sport-chic on their wrist. The EFR-552L-5AVUEF is a perfect example of that expertise. Its case is crafted from stainless steel in a round shape with a gray tone. With a polished finish, it measures 47 mm in diameter, 12.30 mm thick, 53 mm lug-to-lug, and weighs 157 g. The dark bezel features a minute track for added precision. It surrounds a flat hardened mineral crystal that is scratch-resistant, protecting the watch from unsightly damage. The notched, screw-down crown on the right ensures a secure grip when adjusting functions, assisted by two pushers that activate the chronograph. Finally, the screw-down case back guarantees water resistance to 10 ATM.

The Dial

Every detail of this dial has been refined for a standout look on your wrist. In a rich brown, it features a chapter ring marked with a minute track. The central hands and indices are coated with Neobrite for easy readability even in low-light conditions. A date window between 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock gives you a quick read on the day's date. The dial is further enhanced by three sub-dials at 3, 6, and 10 o'clock: a 24-hour counter, a 60-second counter, and a 10-minute counter for the chronograph. The brand's name is proudly displayed at 12 o'clock, while water resistance is noted at 7 o'clock.

The Movement

This watch beats to the rhythm of a quartz movement - specifically the Japanese Casio 5490 caliber, powered by a battery with an estimated life of 3 years. It drives all central functions with precision and dependability.

The Strap

This timepiece features a beautifully crafted shaped strap in genuine leather. Finished in a sleek black, its perfectly smooth surface rests comfortably against your wrist. Featuring tone-on-tone topstitching, it fastens securely with a classic pin buckle.

Water Resistance

With 100-meter water resistance - or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this bold timepiece is equally at home at a black-tie event and in the water. Wear it in the shower, the bath, or the pool (even during an intense swim session). That said, our watch experts want to be clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving, freediving, or high-pressure water jets. Remember: showers, baths, and swimming only - and keep the crown and pushers clear of water!
