EDIFICE x Honda. Sixty years measured in seconds.
The room settles before the racing begins. Inside Sentosa’s HyperDrive, Honda Type R Club members, KOLs, and journalists gather under electric light and quiet anticipation. In the centre of it all sits the reason for the afternoon. The CASIO EDIFICE Honda Racing Special Edition ECB-2300HR, a watch created to mark 60 years since Honda’s first Formula One victory with the RA272 in 1965. A small object carrying a very big story. Precision. Persistence. Victory remembered.
Up close, the watch speaks the language of motorsport. A carbon-reinforced resin and stainless-steel case, sapphire crystal, and 100-meter water resistance built for durability. Tough Solar charging keeps it running, while Bluetooth connectivity syncs with your smartphone for automatic timekeeping and world time. It’s light at 67 grams, sized at 50.2 × 45.8 × 11.8 mm, and finished with Honda Racing cues drawn from the legendary RA272 F1 car. A timepiece engineered with the same thinking that once chased podiums.
Then the day shifted gears.
HyperDrive’s electric karts line up on a three-level indoor circuit stretching roughly 308 metres with 14 corners, designed by 3-time karting champion David Terrien. The advanced karts reach up to 50 km/h, quick enough to wake the competitive spirit in anyone holding a steering wheel.
Helmets go on. Laughter replaces introductions. Some drivers chase lap times. Others chase pride. Casio EDIFICE keeps the session effortless. Food and beverage flow constantly. Conversations move between watches, racing heritage, and Honda’s relentless climb in Formula One. Regional leaders open the event with a brief history lesson before handing the floor back to the people who matter most. The enthusiasts.
Between laps, wrists get heavier with meaning. The EDIFICE x Honda Special Edition appears beside Type R badges and racing gloves. A reminder that time and speed have always been partners.
Some people measure time.
This afternoon, everyone raced it.
