Design and Materials
The EFK-200 series features a compact design. Standard steel models have a 38mm case diameter, 43.6mm lug-to-lug length, and 11.9mm thickness.
Two models incorporate forged carbon, a composite of carbon fibers and resin pressed under high heat. Each forged carbon component has a unique marbled pattern.
The EFK-200CD-1A ($330) has a forged carbon dial with a stainless steel case.
The EFK-200XPB-1A ($500) uses forged carbon for both dial and case, increasing the diameter slightly to 38.8mm and reducing weight to 81 grams compared to 153 grams for steel models.
