New Casio Edifice S108DE shows up in sharp new renders with brushed steel case and raw dial textures

Casio’s latest Edifice release isn’t exactly feature-rich. The EFR-S108DE, which leaked earlier in June, looks to be all about design restraint, with full-stainless steel, sapphire glass, and dial textures that feel more handcrafted than mass-produced.

With high quality photos now out, the S108DE makes a clearer case for itself. The watch sticks to the basics: time, date, and presence - no chronograph, no extra subdials. The dial’s raw texture - available in light blue, silver, and dark green - is the main visual element here. It gives off a grainy, metallic look that plays with the light but doesn't really get too loud.

The watch sits in a slim case with an integrated-style bracelet. Surfaces are mostly brushed, but there’s just enough polish on the chamfered edges to catch reflections. Specs are simple but solid. You get 100-meter water resistance, a three-year battery, and a flat sapphire crystal - something not often seen at this price point. The design is more conservative than generic, if anything. It avoids gimmicks and instead focuses on finishing, texture, and proportion.

Expected to be priced around $150, the EFR-S108DE feels like a good fit for buyers who want a modern steel watch without the usual Edifice busyness. Based on these images, it could pass for something far more expensive if you didn’t catch the branding.

Casio hasn’t confirmed an exact release date yet, but with multiple colorways revealed and promotional material already circulating, the launch is likely just around the corner.
