Casio Edifice x Honda ECB-2300HR-1A Watch Goes on Sale in the US for $400
The new Casio Edifice Sospensione ECB‑2300HR‑1A, developed in collaboration with Casio and Honda, has officially gone on sale in the United States after its launch was delayed in 2025. The watch celebrates the 60th anniversary of Honda’s first Formula 1 victory and is priced at $400.

The model commemorates Honda’s historic win at the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix, where the Honda RA272 secured the company’s first Formula 1 victory on October 24, 1965. It marked the first F1 win for a Japanese car manufacturer. Honda designed both the engine and chassis internally. Since that milestone, the company has won six constructors’ championships and produced four world champions in Formula 1. Honda engineers worked closely with Casio to design the details of this commemorative watch.



The bezel uses genuine Championship White paint taken from the RA272 race car. The color is applied to the base and finished with a top coat to replicate the car’s glossy ivory body. A gold “60” sits at the 60-minute position to highlight the anniversary. Around the dial, a red ring references the Hinomaru circle used on the RA272 and mirrors the design of the Japanese flag.



Inside the dial, a gold metal bearing ring carries the engraving “Veni, Vidi, Vici” along with the car number “11.” The phrase refers to the message Honda’s Formula 1 team sent after its historic victory. The strap also reflects Honda’s engineering history. It features a printed diagram of the RA272’s 1.5-liter V12 engine, emphasizing Honda’s unusual decision to use a 12-cylinder layout in the car. The band uses nappa leather on the front and ultra suede on the underside.
The countdown timer positioned at 9 o’clock is designed to resemble the RA272’s tachometer. It replicates the original color scheme, scale font, hand shape, and red zone markings from the race car’s instrument cluster.
The watch measures 50.2 × 45.8 × 11.8 mm and weighs 67 grams. Its case and bezel combine carbon, stainless steel, and resin materials. The band fits wrists measuring between 175 and 215 mm. Water resistance is rated at 10 ATM.
In Japan, the model is listed at ¥66,000, roughly $421, and is expected to go on sale there in March 2026.
