Marking their second association with Scuderia AlphaTauri Racing Team, Casio is rolling out three limited edition EDIFICE high-performance metal chronographs in India and globally - the EQB-1000AT, ECB-10AT and EFS-S590.  Made with 6K carbon, these watches have been designed with the Formula One™ team Scuderia AlphaTauri, whose driver Pierre Gasly took the checkered flag in last September’s Italian Grand Prix. 

The team’s passion for speed and smart technologies are a great match for the EDIFICE brand concept of “Speed and Intelligence.” Casio has been an official partner since 2016, when the team name was Scuderia Toro Rosso.

The dial and bezel of the EQB-1000AT, the dial of the ECB-10AT, and the inner ring around the dial of the EFS-S590AT are made of 6K carbon, a material woven from bundles of 6,000 carbon fibers also used in racing car wings and floors. The EQB-1000AT, ECB-10AT and EFS-S590 are the first EDIFICE models to incorporate such high-grade carbon fiber material. Keeping up with the youthful and vibrant spirit of the team, that navy-blue color sets the overall tone with their logo engraved on the dials, case backs, and band loops.

All three models feature robust sapphire crystals, so no worries about breakage. The EQB-1000AT and ECB-10AT automatically calibrate the time when paired with a smartphone using the dedicated app, delivering the precision busy team members need. The app also allows users to set world time quickly from a preset selection of about 300 cities — ideal for world travellers like the team members.

Based on the original ECB-10 with Schedule Timer function, which syncs with a smartphone’s calendar app to display schedule start and end times on the LCD and provide audible alerts, this new watch also pairs with a smartphone to set the watch to local time automatically as you travel.
