Casio Adds Titanium Field Watches to Its Automatic Lineup
Mechanical watchmaking heads outdoors
Casio is taking its mechanical watchmaking in a more rugged direction with the new CMK-100 series. Inspired by traditional field watches, the five-model collection pairs a well-proportioned 38mm titanium case measuring 11.4mm thick with a highly legible dial, sapphire crystal and 100-meter water resistance. Multiple strap options and a titanium bracelet offer a choice of looks for everyday wear and outdoor use.
The CMK-100 follows the Edifice EFK series, Casio’s first automatic collection, which introduced mechanical movements to a sportier, racing-inspired line. With the new series, the brand shifts its focus toward practical functionality, wearing comfort and a style suited to outdoor settings.

Lightweight Titanium and a Minimalist Field-Watch Design
Titanium is central to the CMK-100’s appeal, offering a lightweight alternative to stainless steel for a watch intended to be worn throughout the day. The polished and brushed case is treated with ion plating and a titanium-carbide coating to improve abrasion resistance. It is paired with a field-watch-inspired dial designed for quick readability. Three bold Arabic numerals at 12, 6 and 9 o’clock anchor the display, while a date window adds everyday practicality. Luminous-coated hands and hour markers ensure legibility in low-light conditions, and the dial’s textured finish adds visual depth. A sapphire crystal protects the display.
