TOKYO, July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Casio Computer Co.,
Ltd. announced today the release of the latest addition to the
EDIFICE line of timepieces based on the brand concept of "Speed
& Intelligence." The TOM'S 50th Anniversary Edition EFS-S641TMS
features a design motif based on the historic TOM'S KP47 Starlet
race car, which made TOM'S an overnight sensation with a series of
record-setting victories.
TOM'S is a top Japanese racing team established in 1974, and the
EDIFICE brand has been an official partner since 2013. Back in the
early days of TOM'S, the special KP47 Starlet earned an
unforgettable place in the team's history after delivering an
impressive streak of minor touring race victories in the 1970s,
including 22 pole positions, 20 wins, and 3 series champion
victories.
The new EFS-S641TMS is a collaboration between TOM'S and
EDIFICE, and it incorporates design elements from the legendary
TOM'S KP47 Starlet racer's detailing to commemorate the TOM'S 50th
anniversary. The dial and leather band loop feature the special
race car's body colors of white, red, and green. The metal band
loop has a tapered shape and two differently sized holes, evoking
the mounting arms of the car's side mirrors.
The watch face boasts a pair of inset dials inspired by the
iconic form of the TOM'S original Igeta wheels. The inset dials
employ the distinctive shape of the spokes of those wheels, which
looked like a sharp mark (#), in silhouette form, ensuring plenty
of light passes through to power the watch. The honeycomb pattern
at the 3 o'clock position, which features a see-through design
employing a dual-layer construction, is inspired by the race car's
front grille, with an underlying purple hue reminiscent of the
cylinder head cover of the engine. Exuding a passion for design
down to the smallest details, the EFS-S641TMS truly captures the
look of the legendary racing machine that created a sensation in
the 1970s motorsports world, while conveying the TOM'S
determination to keep on racing for another 50 years.
