Casio Edifice x Honda ECB-2300HR-1A features
On October 24, 1965, the Honda RA272 won the Mexican Grand Prix. It was the first F1 victory for a Japanese car. Honda built the entire engine and chassis in-house. Since then, the company has earned six constructors’ titles and produced four world champions. Honda worked directly with Casio on this watch’s development.
The bezel uses genuine Championship White paint from the RA272. It’s applied to the base and finished with a top coat to match the car’s glossy ivory body. A gold “60” sits at the 60-minute position. The dial has a red ring around the edge, inspired by the Hinomaru design on the RA272 and the Japanese flag.
A gold metal bearing ring inside carries the engraving “Veni, Vidi, Vici” and car number “11.” This references the message Honda’s F1 team sent after their win. The strap shows a diagram of the RA272’s 1.5-liter V12 engine, highlighting Honda’s unusual choice of a 12-cylinder layout at the time. The band uses nappa leather on the front and ultra suede on the back.
At 9 o’clock, the countdown timer recreates the RA272’s tachometer. It matches the original color layout, scale font, hand shape, and red zone marking. The case back has a laser-engraved Honda 60th anniversary logo. The watch comes 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. The band fits wrists from 175 to 215 mm. Water resistance is rated at 10 ATM. In Japan, the watch is listed for ¥ 66,000 (~$421) and is set to go on sale in March 2026.
