24th October 1965 — the historic day when the RA272 delivered Honda’s first-ever Formula 1 victory at the Mexican Grand Prix. Celebrate this very special 60th anniversary with an EDIFICE-Honda collaboration that pays tribute to this legendary achievement.

The EDIFICE design team worked closely with Honda, studying every detail of the RA272, the racing legend that sped to victory in the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix, to capture the spirit and engineering of this iconic car.

Painted in authentic Championship White, the bezel takes on the exact colour of the RA272, marking the first time the car’s distinctive hue has been applied to a watch exterior. The dial features the number “60” engraved in gold tones at the 60-minute mark to honour the anniversary of this historic victory, and the dial ring in red expresses the Hinomaru design painted on the body of the RA272.

Each design detail tells its own story. The band loop carries the immortal words of team leader Yoshio Nakamura: Veni, Vidi, Vici — “I came, I saw, I conquered.” The long side of the band features RA272 engine specifications and original technical drawings. And the case back proudly displays the official logo commemorating this Honda triumph.

A meaningful celebration, but also constructed with advanced technologies and equipped with smart features for outstanding functionality. The case integrates carbon fibre-reinforced resin with stainless steel for strength and durability. With scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, 100-meter water resistance, and Tough Solar charging, you’re always ready to go. And it’s a snap to sync with your smartphone via Bluetooth® to get automatically adjusted precision timekeeping, effortless world time, and more.

Created for Honda fans across the globe, this special edition watch brings the legacy of Honda F1 and its spirit of innovation right to your wrist.

Special-edition collaboration timepiece commemorating the 60th anniversary of Honda’s first F1 victory

In October 1965, Honda achieved its historic first F1 win at the Mexican Grand Prix with the RA272. To celebrate the 60th anniversary, this special-edition collaboration timepiece, the ECB-2300HR, honors that first F1 winning car. Honda built a legacy of triumph on the F1 stage, the pinnacle of motorsport, and this timepiece carries the victory message from that first win. Thanks to extensive interviews and research on the actual car, authentic colors and details have been carefully re-created. This watch is filled with the racing spirit that defines Honda.

Authentic Championship White applied to the bezel ring for the first time

The body of the RA272, the first F1 winning car by Honda, was painted in Championship White, a traditional color that continues to symbolize the Honda racing spirit. This same authentic paint has been applied to the bezel ring. After ensuring strong adhesion of the paint to the base layer, a topcoat is added to create the distinctive ivory tone and a glossy finish reminiscent of the car itself, offering a tangible connection to the original car. The number “60” is engraved in gold tones at the 60-minute mark to commemorate the anniversary of the first F1 victory.

Hinomaru design evoking the RA272 body

Against the predominantly white appearance, a vivid red circle around the outer edge of the dial creates a striking presence. This symbolic color scheme, highlighting the contrast of white and red, expresses the Hinomaru design painted on the body of the RA272.

Memorial engraving capturing the message of the first victory

The victory message sent from the venue to headquarters — Veni, Vidi, Vici. (“I came, I saw, I conquered”) — is engraved together with the car number “11” on the gold-colored metal band loop.

1.5-liter V12 engine: A pinnacle of Honda technology

The watch band features an engraved blueprint of Honda’s pioneering 1.5‑liter V12 engine — a tribute to the bold, unconventional choice of a 12-cylinder layout at the time. This remarkable engine represented an integration of Honda’s advanced motorcycle technology and innovative thinking, applying 125cc-per-cylinder performance to the realm of four-wheel drives. The band pairs Nappa leather on the outer surface with Ultrasuede on the lining.

RA272 tachometer reproduced in the inset dial

The tachometer, which stood out at the center of the RA272 instrument panel, is rendered in the 9 o’clock inset dial and serves as a countdown timer. The design reflects the atmosphere of the original, with careful attention to the color and shape of the analog hand, the font of the scale markings, and the red line indicating the red zone.

Anniversary logo depicting the legendary RA272

To mark the 60th anniversary of the first F1 victory, an anniversary logo in an original design by Honda is laser-engraved on the case back. This collaboration watch, which brings the Honda racing spirit closer than ever, is presented in special packaging.
