Casio’s new Edifice EQB-1300 series has had another leak, showing off a third color option. In addition to the previously revealed green (EQB-1300DC-3A) and blue (EQB-1300D-2A) models, a fresh brown dial variant – likely to be called EQB-1300D-5A – has appeared in new images, thanks to Casioblog.
Design Changes
This new version keeps the same design style but alters the color scheme. It features a warm brown dial paired with a silver stainless steel case and bracelet. Similar to the other models, it has a textured dial with geometric patterns and applied baton indices, creating a slightly more complex appearance compared to typical Edifice models, though not by much.
Functional Features
In terms of functionality, everything remains the same. The EQB-1300 series is still anticipated to have a three-hand analog display with a date window, a 24-hour subdial, and a combined weekday/stopwatch indicator. A 30-minute chronograph is also included, based on the subdial markings visible in the pictures. Key features are likely to include Bluetooth connectivity for auto time syncing, Tough Solar charging, world time functionality, and a daily alarm. Water resistance is expected to be at 100 meters, similar to most Edifice models.
Slimmer Profile and Launch
The notable detail from all leaks remains the case design. Casio is believed to be aiming for a slimmer profile, with a thickness reportedly around 9 mm or less. This would make it closer to the slimmer EQB-1100 series.
The latest information suggests a launch window in April 2026. Pricing details are still not confirmed.
