Official EFV-550 Series Description. Representative of the Edifice automotive line with a stopwatch and a large case. In this model, the designers decided to save space on the dial and combined the two windows into one, where the dual scale shows the minutes of the stopwatch – the red arrow indicates the numbers from 0 to 30, and the usual arrow is responsible for the marks from 30 to 60. This made it possible in a separate window show tenths of a second when counting time. The hands and hour markers are large enough, which positively affects the readability of the dial at any angle. The color options of the EFV-530 [black, blue, red and brown] are more than enough to choose from. Water resistance is good here – 100 meters, which means that you can swim and dive in the watch.
