Scuderia Toro Rosso brings its youthful energy and racing cars powered by 
outstanding technological innovations to the circuit, in the passionate pursuit 
of speed. Casio believes that these qualities perfectly match the brand concept 
for EDIFICE and has been an official team partner since 2016.

Franz Tost, Team Principal Scuderia Toro Rosso said: "More than any other 
sport, success in Formula 1 is dictated by time. Every single second counts and 
having a partner in Casio EDIFICE that shares that same dedication to details 
on design and technological development is key. The new Casio EDIFICE Scuderia 
Toro Rosso Limited Edition chronograph is a product of this attention to detail 
that is truly unique. The combination of advanced technology and dynamic design 
reflects similar characteristics to the production of our Formula 1 car." 

The new ECB-900TR, EQS-920TR, and EFR-564TR boast color schemes that adopt the 
red, blue, and silver colors of the Scuderia Toro Rosso racing machines. The 
overall design of the watches is inspired by the worldview of motorsports, with 
special touches such as rendering the hour indexes in a typeface that resembles 
team car numbers. The dial and back case feature the team logo, while the 
second hand is decorated with the colors of the flag of Italy, where the team 
is based. These details add up to designs truly worthy of collaboration models 
with the Scuderia Toro Rosso team. The watches also come with special packaging.

All three models feature a multi-dimensional face and flat bezel, with the 
ECB-900TR and EQS-920TR also employing a solar-charging power system. The 
ECB-900TR pairs with a smartphone via Bluetooth® for enhanced ease of use, 
enabling the user to adjust time and control watch functions such as world time 
and alarm from a smartphone app. LCDs at the 12 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions 
provide an accessible view of a variety of information. 

These watches will connect their owners with the motorsports worldview and the 
Scuderia Toro Rosso racing team.
