Design and Materials
The top-tier model, EFK-200XPB-1AJF, is priced at ¥74,800 ($460).
It features a case and dial made entirely of forged carbon, a composite material created by mixing carbon fiber with resin under high heat.
This process produces a unique marbled pattern and keeps the weight at 81 grams.
The watch includes a black ion-plated stainless steel bezel, urethane band, and push-button butterfly clasp.
The EFK-200CD-1AJF, priced at ¥55,000 ($338), combines a forged carbon dial with a standard stainless steel case and band.

The remaining three models use electroformed dials with a multi-layer lacquer finish for a textured gradient effect.
The EFK-200D-2AJF and EFK-200D-4AJF have stainless steel cases and bands, priced at ¥55,000 ($338) each.
The EFK-200DG-5AJF features a gold ion-plated case and band, priced at ¥66,000 ($406).

Movement and Specifications
All five watches share the same Japanese-made automatic movement, visible through a screw-lock exhibition case back.
The 21-jewel movement beats at 21,600 vibrations per hour, with a 42-hour power reserve.
It includes hacking seconds and a date display, with a mean daily accuracy of -20 to +40 seconds.
The cases measure 38mm in diameter, 43.6mm lug-to-lug (43.8mm for the carbon model), and 11.9mm thick.
All models feature scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and 100 meters of water resistance.
