Based on the Black and Red of Honda F1 Crew Uniforms
Honda Racing is the collective term for Honda Motor Co., Ltd.'s global motorsports activities. It has garnered attention for supplying power units to the F1 team Scuderia AlphaTauri, which Casio Computer has supported since 2018. This collaboration between Honda Racing and EDIFICE began because of their shared spirit of challenging the world with pride as a Japanese brand, utilizing advanced technology.
The watch “ECB-10HR,” now in its third joint production, is based on the black and red colors of the Honda F1 crew uniforms that support the Scuderia AlphaTauri team at races, with gold accents celebrating EDIFICE’s 20th anniversary. The dial and case, made from carbon fiber which has a strong affinity with motorsports, are primarily black. The Honda Racing logo, genuine leather band, and the “20” on the bezel, signifying the 20th anniversary, are colored red. Additionally, the EDIFICE logo, the inner circumference of the bezel, and the small hands on the subdials are accented in gold, representing the anniversary.
The base model is the “ECB-10,” which features functions developed based on feedback from Scuderia AlphaTauri. The Honda logo is prominently displayed throughout the watch and its special packaging, and the case back is engraved with “20th Anniversary EDIFICE.” This is a special model that embodies the world of Honda Racing and a message celebrating EDIFICE’s 20th anniversary.
