Casio pays homage to the first TOM’S Race Car with its newest model

Casio Computer Co., Ltd. has just unveiled an exciting addition to its EDIFICE line of timepieces: the TOM’s 50th Anniversary Edition EFS-S641TMS. This remarkable watch embodies the brand’s ethos of “Speed & Intelligence” and pays tribute to the iconic TOM’S KP47 Starlet race car, which launched the TOM’S racing team into the spotlight with its impressive track record.

TOM’S History

Established in 1974, TOM’S is a renowned Japanese racing team that has partnered with the EDIFICE brand since 2013. The KP47 Starlet made history in the late 1970s, clinching 22 pole positions, 20 wins, and three series championships. The new EFS-S641TMS serves as a celebration of these achievements, integrating design elements from the legendary racer.

The watch features a striking colour palette inspired by the KP47 Starlet, with its white, red, and green body colours reflected in the dial and leather band loop. The tapered metal band loop, with its unique dual-sized holes, echoes the car’s side mirrors, showcasing meticulous attention to detail.

A Tribute

One of the standout features is the pair of inset dials, designed to mimic the TOM’S original Igeta wheels. The distinctive spoke silhouette allows ample light to illuminate the watch, enhancing both functionality and style.

Additionally, a honeycomb pattern at the 3 o’clock position takes cues from the race car’s front grille, showcasing a transparent, dual-layer design with an underlying purple hue reminiscent of the engine’s cylinder head cover.

Striving For Excellence

The EFS-S641TMS not only captures the essence of the legendary KP47 Starlet but also embodies TOM’S commitment to innovation and racing excellence as it looks forward to another 50 years in motorsports.

With the launch of this timepiece, the EDIFICE brand continues to draw inspiration from the dynamic world of motorsports, promising even more thrilling collaborations and products for racing enthusiasts. Whether you’re a motorsports fan or simply appreciate fine craftsmanship, the TOM’S 50th Anniversary Edition EFS-S641TMS delivers an ideal blend of heritage with a modern design.
