Casio has launched a special edition EDIFICE watch to commemorate the 50th anniversary of TOM’S, a famous Japanese racing team. The EFS-S641TMS model takes inspiration from the legendary TOM’S KP47 Starlet, a notable race car from the 1970s.

The watch’s design mirrors the Starlet’s aesthetic, showcasing a color scheme of white, red, and green. The metal band loop is reminiscent of the Starlet’s side mirror mounts, while the dial design draws from the car’s Igeta wheels. Furthermore, the honeycomb pattern at the 3 o’clock position pays homage to the Starlet’s front grille.
Celebrating Precision and Competition
Beyond being a fashionable accessory, the timepiece captures the essence of competition and precise engineering, traits that both TOM’S and Casio are celebrated for. Since 2013, Casio has been an official partner of TOM’S, consistently producing watches that attract racing aficionados. This latest collaboration continues that legacy.
