The dial surface on both leaked Casio Edifice red and ice blue variants is described as resembling "frozen frost" or "densely packed fine crystals".
Casio is reportedly set to expand its Edifice EFV-160D lineup with two June 2026 colorways — the EFV-160D-4A in deep red and EFV-160D-2B in ice blue — both featuring a crystalline dial texture and priced between $120–$140.

As per a new leak, Casio is adding two new references to the Edifice EFV-160D lineup for June 2026 — the EFV-160D-4A in deep red and the EFV-160D-2B in ice blue. Both are expected to be priced between $120 and $140, as per Casioblog.

The EFV-160D platform is not new. We previously covered the original trio of EFV-160D variants — black, blue, and green — when they appeared on Casio's UK storefront in July 2025, each featuring the classic Clous de Paris raised pyramid texture on the dial. The two incoming colorways take a somewhat different approach: the dial surface on both the red and ice blue variants is described as resembling "frozen frost" or "densely packed fine crystals." It is a noticeably softer, more diffused texture compared to the sharper geometric pattern of earlier models.

The rest of the specifications carry over unchanged. The EFV-160D runs on the Casio 5340 quartz movement housed in a 40 mm stainless steel case measuring 47.5 × 40 × 10mm, with a slightly domed mineral glass, date display at 3 o'clock, three-hand layout, Neobrite lume on hands and indices, and 100-meter water resistance. Battery life is rated at three years.

The slightly curved mineral glass is a deliberate design choice Casio considers a readability advantage, and the clean three-hand layout is very much in line with Edifice's motorsport-influenced history.

The EFV-160D-4A and EFV-160D-2B will join what is becoming one of Casio's more actively iterated budget Edifice platforms. No official announcement has been made, and a wider regional rollout beyond the initial markets has not been confirmed.

Buy the Casio Edifice EFB-730D-7AV on Amazon.
