Casio Computer Co., Ltd. is launching a new watch to add to the EDIFICE lineup of timepieces, bearing the overarching theme of “Speed and Intelligence.” Dubbed as the Casio NISMO MY23 EDITION, the ECB-2000NIS symbolizes “Model Year 2023” and carries graphic elements as seen from the NISMO team’s ace race car.
The works arm of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., the NISMO, serves its purpose by being engaged in motorsport activities. In support of NISMO is the luxury brand EDIFICE, which has been its partner since 2021 — an alliance borne from the two companies’ passion for taking advantage of avante-garde technology in the quest for ultimate performance.
Renowned for competing in Japan’s illustrious motorsport race, the Super GT, the #23 Nissan Z was a solid inspiration for the ECB-2000NIS as it incorporates design features of the prominent NISMO works team’s race car.
While it bears all semblance of the traditional chronograph, the Casio Edifice NISMO MY23 Edition watch also assimilates modern capabilities, such as pairing with a smartphone via Bluetooth, which automates time correction and facilitates setup for world time in addition to other functions.
When used with the CASIO WATCHES app, stopwatch data gathered on the watch can be transferred. But practicality is another central theme with the ECB-2000NIS as it absorbs even artificial light from fluorescent bulbs and converts it for energy via the Tough Solar charging system.
