Introducing: Casio Edifice Sospensione (ECB2000)

As of late, the Casio Edifice lineup has really been leaning into motorsports inspiration. Their latest model, the Casio Edifice Sospensione (aka ECB2000) continues that trend, with a hefty does of carbon fiber.

You might see the carbon fiber pattern on the bezel, and sure, that feels like a bit of “go fast”. Where the truly interesting carbon fiber is, however, is in the case. For the first time, a Casio Edifice feature carbon fiber-reinforced resin. Not quite the same idea as forged carbon, but it does look an awful lot like it. It should provide strength and a lighter weight on the wrist.

The Casio Edifice Sospensione is supposed to call to mind the double-wishbone suspension on a race car, which I guess it kind of does? It’s a unique lug configuration, which means you need to stick with the stock straps (either resin or metal bracelet) as the aftermarket won’t have anything that fits this.

While the resin-strap version features a striking red and black color combo, I think the dark argent and blue of the bracelet version comes across as a bit more refined. Either one, it’s going to run you $300, and you get the full suite of functionality (solar power, chronograph functionality, bluetooth connection) that the Edifice lineup is known for. casio.com
