The Watch

From calculators to musical instruments to digital cameras, Casio has made its mark on the global stage through a creative, forward-thinking spirit that has allowed it to anticipate, innovate, and meet the needs of customers worldwide. With the launch of its first digital watch in 1974, the brand became a cornerstone of the watchmaking industry - and since then, this Japanese powerhouse has never stopped impressing with its affordable, versatile, durable, and practical creations. On Ocarat, you'll find a curated selection of Casio's finest watches spanning elegant, sporty, and vintage styles to satisfy every taste. Bold designs that are right on trend, unmatched durability, and a meticulously crafted aesthetic backed by cutting-edge technology - these are the hallmarks of its Edifice collection, built for the daring individual in search of a sophisticated, stylish, and on-trend timepiece. From this line, and more specifically from the iconic EQS-940 series, Casio is proud to present this exceptional limited-edition Nighttime Drive EQS-940NL-1AVUEF timepiece - a timeless sport-chic design crafted to be the ultimate companion for men looking to elevate their style. Combining everyday practicality with impressive technical performance and refined understatement, it's the sleek, on-trend addition that will sharpen your look day and night - adorning your wrist with quiet confidence. Radiating speed, intelligence, and dynamism, it seizes every opportunity to set you apart, bringing a daily rush of adrenaline and fresh energy through its sports-car-inspired design. To match its bold character, its round case is finished in a dark grey tone for a more understated sophistication. Crafted from stainless steel, it measures 12.50 mm in thickness, 49.50 mm in length, and 45.50 mm in diameter - dimensions carefully selected for comfortable everyday wear. It weighs 74 g and features a brushed finish with polished details for a dazzling wrist presence. Surrounding a mineral crystal, the ion-plated bezel is marked with a minute track in white using Arabic numerals in increments of 5, separated by markers. Its blue and grey gradient adds a dynamic edge and amplifies this watch's audacious design. The screw-down crown, protected at 3 o'clock, handles hand setting at all times, while the two pushers surrounding it control the subdials and date window. Finally, the screw-back case ensures water resistance of 100 meters.

The Dial

Capturing the raw, bold spirit of sports cars, this round dial makes an instant impression, delivering an exceptional experience with every glance. It features a brushed dark grey background that contrasts beautifully with the white and blue marker tones for an increasingly captivating effect. At the center, two baton hands with pointed tips move in concert with a slender seconds hand to mark the passage of hours, minutes, and seconds. They sweep across a minute track scaled with white markers for crystal-clear time reading. The hours are indicated by three-dimensional indices of varying widths, draped in a striking metallic blue, adding vibrant accents throughout. These are further enhanced by rectangles coated with a white Neobrite treatment. This luminescent coating also appears on all three hands, ensuring excellent legibility in low-light conditions. You'll also notice a date window at 4 o'clock, followed by three sport-style subdials at 6, 9, and 12 o'clock, handling the 60-second, 30-minute, and 24-hour functions respectively. The first subdial is marked with the letters "H", "M", and "L", serving as a battery level indicator. On a horizontally brushed blue plate positioned at 3 o'clock, you'll find the brand name, the Edifice collection name and logo, and below it the inscription "Solar Powered".

The Movement

This model is brought to life by a solar movement of Japanese manufacture, delivering an autonomy of 5 months after a full charge. This is made possible by invisible solar cells embedded in the watch, which convert light into energy to power the hands, subdials, and date window - even in low-light conditions. More specifically, the Casio caliber 5585 ensures precise and reliable display of hours, minutes, seconds, the date, and chronograph indications. With no battery changes required, this high-performance movement is prized for its durability and exceptional quality.

The Bracelet

The strap paired with this watch is crafted from genuine bovine leather, lending the whole piece a touch of timeless elegance. Its handsome black color effortlessly complements any outfit, adding a refined and modern accent to each look. Stitched, supple, and durable, it wraps your wrist with finesse for all-day comfort. You can slip it on for any occasion, secured by a pin buckle. The buckle, in dark grey, is crafted from stainless steel.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters. This is a truly water-ready watch. With its sporty character, it's ready to dive into aquatic adventures with you - from puddles to the pool. Shower, bath, and lap swimming are all fair game. That said, our Ocarat watchmaking experts want you to know that while this model is water-resistant, it is not designed for diving (professional or recreational) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning devices. We also recommend not operating the crown or pushers while submerged.
