The Casio Edifice ECB-2300HR-1A commemorates Honda’s first Formula 1 victory, achieved by the RA272 at the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix. Notebookcheck reported on March 3, 2026, that the Honda collaboration was on sale in the US for $400. That is a dated launch-price report, not confirmation of today’s price or stock.
What the Casio Edifice Honda watch commemorates
Casio describes the ECB-2300HR-1A as a 60th-anniversary edition honoring the RA272’s victory on October 24, 1965, at the Mexican Grand Prix—Honda’s first Formula 1 win. The watch’s theme is specific to that car and race, rather than a general Honda or motorsport tie-in.

The white bezel ring references the RA272’s Championship White paint. A red ring around the dial evokes the Hinomaru-inspired marking on the car, while an inset dial is styled after the RA272 tachometer.

The genuine-leather band carries technical information and drawings connected with Honda’s 1.5-liter V12 engine. Casio describes its exterior as Nappa leather and its lining as Ultrasuede. On the band loop, “Veni, Vidi, Vici” (“I came, I saw, I conquered”) and the number 11 refer to the victory message sent from the race venue to Honda headquarters. A Honda-designed anniversary logo is laser-engraved on the case back, and the watch comes in special packaging.
