Celebrate the 50^th anniversary of the Honda Works Brand with Casio Edifice

Casio Malaysia has released the new ECB-40MU, Casio’s latest addition to the Edifice line of timepieces based on the brand concept of “Speed and Intelligence.” It is a collaboration between Edifice and Mugen (legally known as M-TEC Company, Ltd.), the Honda works brand.

Mugen is involved not only in manufacturing and selling parts for Honda automobiles, but also in a variety of motorsports-related activities including taking part in F1TM, the Isle of Man TT, and top-tier races in Japan as a professional racing team.

A Partnership As Old As Time

Casio has partnered with Mugen since the motorcycle endurance race in 1985 to support the company’s activities. The new ECB-40MU is the first collaboration between Mugen, which is celebrating its 50^th anniversary, and Edifice, a line of Casio timepieces that embodies the motorsports worldview.

The Mugen brand colours of white, red, gold, and black are featured on the dial, band loop, and stitching on the band, set against an overall black design. Together with the Mugen brand logo, the Eye Commander logo, which symbolizes the spirit of Mugen, is embossed on the band.

Special Touches

Engraving on the bezel features the font used on shift knobs made by Mugen. These special details give this timepiece the singular look that only a limited edition model can impart and adds a layer of exclusivity as well as a special edition feel, like a watch like this should exude.

On top of that, the carbon fibre-reinforced resin case and the four-lug design inspired by the suspension used in formula race cars. The band is made of Alcantara, a material used in sports car interiors for its excellent durability and breathability making the watch as functional as it is stylish

The ECB-40MU is equipped with Mobile Link features for pairing with a smartphone via Bluetooth, providing automatic time correction and making it easy to set world time and other functions.

Stylish And Practical

The watch comes with other practical features, as well, including a Schedule Timer that syncs with a smartphone’s calendar app to display the start and end times of a scheduled activity on the watch LCD. Edifice will continue to evoke the world of motorsports with exciting products and collaboration timepieces.
