NISMO MY23 Edition: A timepiece designed after the fearless image of the Nissan Z car racing car in the SUPER GT
Presenting the EDIFICE NISMO MY23 Edition, a limited-edition timepiece with a name signifying “Model Year 2023,” born of a partnership between EDIFICE and NISMO. The design is inspired by the #23 Nissan Z ace racing car, which has been competing in Japan’s most prestigious motorsport race, the SUPER GT, since the 2022 racing season. The watch displays meticulous attention to detail, incorporating a diverse range of racing car-inspired design features. The watch is based on the EDIFICE SOSPENSIONE ECB-2000, which features a unique suspension arm design. This very special model expresses the passion of racing in every detail of its design.
NISMO is an affiliate of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. that engages in motorsport activities. In addition to competing in races in Japan and around the world as a Nissan works team, NISMO also contributes technologies it has cultivated through racing to Nissan road car development. Casio has been a long-time supporter, since 2003, and EDIFICE has supported the team’s #23 racing car since 2021.
FEATURE1
NISMO-inspired red & black color combination
Bold use of red and black, a color combination representing the NISMO team colors that also emblazon the #23 Nissan Z racing car, features prominently in the design. Faithfully modeled after the red to black shift in the painting of the racing car from front to rear, the entire watch features a two-tone shift from red in the 12 o’clock direction to black in the 6 o’clock direction. An originally developed red hue faithfully matches NISMO red.
FEATURE2
Face design in homage to the #23 Nissan Z racing car
Based on actual graphic data from NISMO, the “Z” logo appearing on the rear fender of the #23 Nissan Z car is incorporated into the dial design along with a pattern from carbon-fiber components. Accents of fluorescent yellow evoke the cautionary color employed on the racing car. The number of Nissan’s ace car, 23, adorns the 23-minute position.
FEATURE3
Black IP bezel expressing the roofline of the racing car
Evoking the roofline of the Nissan Z, a symbolic layout of design elements inspired by a Japanese sword motif are expressed in different finishes applied to the black ion-plated metal bezel. Partially exposing the stainless steel beneath serves to accentuate the bezel’s edges. The NISMO logo is engraved in the bezel top, and the minute indications use an original Nissan font.
FEATURE4
Unique special features for a limited-edition watch
The metal band loop is adorned with the NISMO logo. The case back is engraved with both the EDIFICE and NISMO logos, as well as a “23” representing the ace car’s identifying number. The watch comes in special packaging proudly displaying the red and black team colors.
DETAIL1
Carbon fiber-reinforced resin case with suspension arm design
With a motif inspired by the double wishbone suspension, the lugs are configured in a four-arm arrangement. Carbon fiber-reinforced resin is used as the case material, delivering both strength and lightness.
DETAIL2
Countdown indicator for convenient time management
An inset dial indicator at the 9 o’clock position counts down to the next alarm and shows the time remaining in the active timer. This countdown begins with a progress beep 30 minutes in advance to offer an intuitive grasp of the time remaining.
DETAIL3
Smartphone Link for full functionality at your fingertips
Smartphone pairing via Bluetooth® delivers automatic time correction and makes it easy to configure various functions from the app, including world time. In addition to the watch’s 200-lap memory for the stopwatch timer, it allows data transfer to the app, as well.
DETAIL4
Tough Solar powered for converting light to energy
The ECB-2000NIS allows approximately seven months of operation after a full charge, using all functions but without solar charging.
