Casio Edifice Quartz Black Dial IP Plated Steel Oyster Bracelet Chronograph Men\'s Watch EFR-569DC-1AVUEF At WatchNation we are proud to announce that the Casio Edifice Watch EFR-569DC-1AVUEF is a UK exclusive to ourselves. We have had a long and great relationship with Casio through the years with plans for it to continue for many years. The model itself is actually inspired by Japanese motor racing. The Case: The steel case measures at a width of 48mm and a thickness of 12mm, a common theme of Edifice models. The 48mm case is larger than the average watch which brings out its masculine side. The screws around the case seal up the dial to provide it with a water resistance of 100 metres, perfect for any swimming and snorkelling style sports. The bezel of the watch is fixed, which adds to the durability as most watches tend to have an attached bezel. Additionally, the case is raised slightly which provides extra protection to the mineral crystal glass. In-between each screw is a small black groove which gives the timepiece another dimension. Furthermore, the crown can be seen at the 3 o\'clock position with a guard on either side. This guard is used to protect the crown from being knocked out of place by any sporting activity. The crown as well as two buttons either side are coated in a gold IP style. The Bracelet: The steel bracelet contributes greatly to how the watch looks and feels. The black tone of the bracelet comes from a process known as ion plating. Ion Plating is a process where the surface is bombarded by atomic sized energetic particles. Experiments have shown that this method is up to eight times more durable than conventional methods. The bracelet has a width of approximately 20mm which is complemented well by the large case. It has a maximum length of 24cm which would even fit those built for the toughest of sports. The bracelet style is similar to that of the original Rolex Oyster with three links combining to make one.  The bracelet can then be securely fastened using a one touch three fold over clasp. The Dial: The dial hosts an analogue display with three hands for the hours, minutes and seconds. The Casio and Edifice logo can be seen next to the 3 o\'clock position which is a unique yet common alignment in Edifice watches. Just below the logo at the 4 o\'clock position is an easy to read date window. The stopwatch, alongside the hands, are powered by a quartz SR920SW. This battery allows the watch to have an accuracy of +-20 seconds per month. Around the edge of the dial are golden indexes which have been coated in a luminous material, allowing them to be visible at night. Additionally, adjacent to the index markers are second markers placed on the chapter ring to complete the dial. Functions: The rest of the dial features three sub-dials, of which make up a precise chronograph feature. This is where this watch really comes into its element with it being able to be used for a quick run in the park or an intense 10,000 metre race at the Olympics. The measuring capacity has an accuracy down to a tenth of a second as seen in the dial positioned at 12 o\'clock. The measuring capacity for this timepiece is one hour with three modes being available to choose from. The three modes are; elapsed time, split time and 1st and second place time.
