Casio to Release EDIFICE Honda Racing Limited Edition Inspired by the Legendary Honda RC162 Motorcycle
TOKYO, March 25, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today the release of the EQS-930HR, the 5th 
collaboration model with Honda Racing in the EDIFICE line of high-performance 
metal chronographs based on the brand concept of "Speed and Intelligence."

Honda Racing refers to the motor sports activities that Honda Motor Co., Ltd. 
pursues around the world. The collaboration between Honda Racing and EDIFICE, 
both of which have origins in Japan, has evolved since 2018 from a shared 
dedication to leveraging high-tech capabilities in their global pursuits.

The year 2021 marks the 60th anniversary of the 1961 Honda victory in Round 2 
of the 250cc Grand Prix in West Germany, where Kunimitsu Takahashi became the 
first Japanese rider to win a motorcycle road racing world championship. 
Designed to evoke the classic Honda RC162 bike that powered Takahashi to 
victory, the EQS-930HR pays homage to this historic feat. The watch's bezel and 
dial feature special processing to evoke the bike's hammered aluminum fairing. 
The black dial is accented with red inspired by the RC162's fuel tank, and 
silver, the color of the bike's body, and it is emblazoned with the striking 
yellow line motif and Honda logo as it appeared in 1961. The genuine leather 
band calls to mind the racing suit to evoke the scene of the legendary race.

This new watch is based on the EQS-930, with its innovative sharp and sporty 
form. Like the EQS-930, it employs Casio's innovative shadow-dispersing solar 
cells under the inset dials to make sure that the smaller amount of light that 
gets through the design-packed dial is still plenty to power the watch for 
stable operation and great efficiency.
