Official EFR-526 Series Description. A budget edifice chronograph with a classic design and leather strap. In addition to the standard time display in hours, there is a simple stopwatch that can be useful for short measurements – three additional windows are responsible for the individual units of the stopwatch – minutes, seconds and 1/10 of a second. In the appearance of the EFR-526, car styling is seen – a second scale, divided into smaller divisions, asymmetry in the placement of buttons and windows that resemble the dashboard of a car. 100-meter water resistance allows you to wear the watch without taking off when swimming and swimming.
