Color Scheme Featuring Navy Blue Team Color with Fluoro Accents


Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today the release of new additions to the 
EDIFICE line of high-performance chronographs based on the brand concept of 
"Speed and Intelligence." The EQB-1200AT, EFS-S580AT, and EFR-571AT employ a 
dial made from 6K carbon* and are the third set of collaboration models 
designed with the Formula OneTM team Scuderia AlphaTauri.
*A material woven with filaments that each consist of 6,000 carbon fibers.

Scuderia AlphaTauri is a racing team with many young, up-and-coming drivers. 
The team's cutting-edge technologies and passionate pursuit of speed are a 
great match for the EDIFICE brand concept, and Casio has been an official 
partner since 2016, when the team was known as Scuderia Toro Rosso.

The new EQB-1200AT, EFS-S580AT, and EFR-571AT watches feature a dial made from 
6K carbon fiber, inherited from the second collaboration with Scuderia 
AlphaTauri, which has been well-received. The watches incorporate Formula OneTM 
technology with watch designs that use the same kind of high-strength carbon 
fiber as used in racing car wings and floors. The team's navy blue color sets 
the overall tone, and fluorescent yellow — the color of the clothing worn by 
crew mechanics after races — highlights key components such as the dial ring, 
second hand, indicator hand, and stopwatch button, providing the high 
visibility required for safe work in the paddock and pits.

All three models are water-resistant down to 100 meters. The EQB-1200AT and 
EFS-S580AT feature a glass made from high-strength sapphire crystal, delivering 
peace of mind even in the most grueling race conditions. The EQB-1200AT is also 
equipped with Mobile Link functions that automatically adjust to the correct 
time when paired with a smartphone using the dedicated app, providing the 
precise timekeeping required by team personnel who schedule their days down to 
the minute. The app features some 300 cities to choose from for setting World 
Time with ease — ideal for a team that travels the world.
