Official EFS-S580 Series Description. Super-charge your speed and precision with this special EDIFICE watch designed in collaboration with the F1™ team Scuderia AlphaTauri.
Made with the same type of 6K carbon fiber used in the floor and wings of the Scuderia AlphaTauri racing machine, the EFS-S580AT puts the latest motorsports technology right on your wrist. Fluorescent yellow — the color that crew mechanics use at the track for safety — highlights key components, providing the stand-out visibility required by racing teams who have to make every second count. The yellow stopwatch button and second hand ensure easy, no-fumble timing. The last 15 seconds on the dial are also highlighted, in a nod to the F1 rule that crewmembers must leave the grid 15 seconds before the formation lap starts.
This solar-powered chronograph with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal delivers what you need to manage your day with the confidence of an F1 driver.

The most distinctive specs of EFS-S580 — The Choice of Racing Teams & Solar Power
*Editorial
— Sapphire crystal
(the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal watch glass is treated with a non-reflective coating to deliver high visibility)
— Solar-powered (CASIO-original light-shielding and distributed solar technology make it possible to obtain sufficient power generation using only the light that passes through the three small inset dials. Exposure to light charges a battery that provides energy to power normal operations for five months on a full charge)
— Carbon Display Styling (like in a sportcar)
