The first EDIFICE men’s watch by CASIO with radio-controlled technology
The new EDIFICE: The classic chronograph with Europe-wide radio signal reception

Norderstedt, April 2008 – With the new EQW-500DBE-1AVER, CASIO is now banking on innovative radio-controlled technology for its men’s watch brand EDIFICE. In addition to the exact time of day, the EQW-500DBE-1AVER also offers incredible comfort for frequent Europe travellers. That is because the watch automatically adjusts itself according to the two European radio signals (DCF and MSF) and automatically switches between summer and winter times. The radio signals can be received throughout Germany and most of Europe. EDIFICE is proof that CASIO is committed to radio-controlled technology – a field in which the Japanese manufacture is one of the world’s leading developers.

Notable characteristics of the EQW-500DBE are the clear design, the love to numerous details and the sum of all the integrated functions, which include the eye-catching chronograph display, the stainless steel casing with solid stainless steel wristband as well as the striking casing screws. The bezel has also been elaborately ionised to give it a sophisticated black hue. Additional features consist of a daily alarm, timer, world time and two stopwatches. With the radio-controlled EQW-500DBE-1AVER, you will feel just as confident in the office as behind the wheel of an Italian sports car …

For years, EDIFICE watches have been considered a classic and at the same time a very modern men’s watch brand that has been gaining in popularity – and the EQW-500DBE is no exception.

The EQW-500DBE-1AVER features the following functions:
  • <AUTO-LED> LIGHT
  • RADIO SIGNAL RECEPTION IN EUROPE
  • DAILY ALARM
  • TWO STOPWATCHES
  • COUNTDOWN TIMER
  • WORLD TIME FOR 29 CITIES
  • STAINLESS STEEL CASING
  • SOLID STAINLESS STEEL WRISTBAND
