Casio has officially listed the Edifice x Honda collaboration watch on its Japanese website, confirming a March 2026 release. The watch carries a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of ¥66,000 including tax. The listing confirms the model name ECB-2300HR-1A.
This limited collaboration marks 60 years since Honda’s first Formula One victory. On October 24, 1965, the Honda RA272 won the Mexican Grand Prix, becoming the first Japanese car to take an F1 victory. The car featured a fully Honda-built engine and chassis. Since then, Honda has secured six constructors’ titles and produced four world champions. This Edifice model is designed as a tribute to that milestone, with Honda directly involved in the planning and research.
The bezel ring uses genuine Championship White paint, the same color used on the RA272. The paint is fixed to the base and finished with a top coat to create a glossy ivory tone similar to the original car’s body. A gold “60” is engraved at the 60 minute position to mark the anniversary. The dial features a red ring around its edge, inspired by the Hinomaru design on the RA272 and the Japanese flag.
A gold metal bearing ring inside the watch is engraved with the words “Veni, Vidi, Vici” along with the car number “11.” This references the message sent by Honda’s F1 team after the historic win. The strap includes an engraved diagram of the RA272’s 1.5 liter V12 engine, highlighting Honda’s decision to use a 12 cylinder layout at a time when it was uncommon. The band uses nappa leather on the front and ultra suede on the back.
At 9 o’clock, the in-dial countdown timer recreates the RA272’s tachometer design, matching the original color layout, scale font, hand shape, and red zone marking. The case back features a laser engraved Honda 60th anniversary logo and the watch is delivered in special commemorative packaging.
The ECB-2300HR-1A measures 50.2 × 45.8 × 11.8 mm and weighs 67 grams. The case and bezel use carbon, stainless steel, and resin. It has a genuine leather and synthetic leather band sized for wrists from 175 to 215 mm. Water resistance is rated at 10 ATM.
The watch runs on Tough Solar, converting sunlight and indoor light into power. Battery life is approximately 7 months with normal use and up to 18 months in power saving mode. It supports Bluetooth time correction through the CASIO WATCHES app and includes automatic time adjustment, easy clock setting, world time for 38 cities plus UTC, stopwatch data transfer, Time and Place, and Find My Phone.
