Casio has introduced a limited edition EDIFICE timepiece to celebrate the 50th anniversary of TOM’S, a renowned Japanese racing team. The EFS-S641TMS watch is inspired by the iconic TOM’S KP47 Starlet, a prominent race car from the 1970s.
The watch’s design reflects the Starlet’s look, featuring a color scheme of white, red, and green. The metal band loop resembles the Starlet’s side mirror mounts, while the dial takes inspiration from the car’s Igeta wheels. Additionally, the honeycomb pattern at the 3 o’clock position nods to the Starlet’s front grille.
More than just a stylish accessory, the watch embodies the spirit of competition and precision engineering that both TOM’S and Casio are known for. Casio, an official partner of TOM’S since 2013, has a history of producing timepieces that appeal to racing enthusiasts. This collaboration continues that tradition.
