Casio releases the colorful racer in its ECBS10NIS-7A NISMO Edition
Nissan’s NISMO turns 40, and Casio’s Edifice line shows up wearing team colors. The NISMO Heritage Edition ECBS10NIS-7A is a $330, Bluetooth-enabled tribute to the works machines that carried the original NISMO oval logo from 1984–1997—think R91CP at Daytona and the mighty Calsonic Skyline era.
The vibe: tricolor, trackside
The dial leans hard into the red/blue/white palette of the original NISMO logo. Center stage is that oval NISMO badge, rendered with a luminescent finish that glows like an endurance car’s illuminated number at 3 a.m. It’s bold, playful, and not remotely subtle—exactly what a birthday watch should be.
There’s a neat easter egg for Skyline diehards: the word “SAPPHIRE” (a nod to the crystal) appears in a color/font riff on the Calsonic GT-R’s windshield decal. It’s the kind of detail you either spot and grin at… or miss entirely. Either way, it’s there for the faithful.
Strap & case: heritage on your sleeve
The white leather-topped strap runs twin red/blue racing stripes with a striped keeper, calling back to ’80s endurance suits. Flip it over and you get a suede-like underside—red on the short side, blue on the long. Along the band you’ll find chassis codes of title-winning NISMO cars from the first era, plus a koinobori (carp streamer) motif at the tip—an in-the-know nod to May races in Japan. The caseback is engraved with the original NISMO logo, and the watch ships in special packaging.
Tech & specs (the Edifice sauce)
This is very much modern Edifice under the motorsport livery:
Bluetooth® Smartphone Link via the CASIO WATCHES app
Auto time adjustment (4×/day)
Easy setting, World Time (~300 cities)
Time & Place logging (stamp a location from the watch)
Phone finder
100 m water resistance
Sapphire crystal with inner AR coating
Super Illuminator double LED
World Time (38 cities), 1/100-sec chrono, countdown timer, 5 alarms, hand-shift feature
It’s a feature set built for daily abuse and travel days, with the app removing most of the button-mashing.
On the wrist (who’s it for?)
If you love NISMO history, this is catnip: the tricolor dial, glowing oval logo, and strap callouts make it a mini museum piece you can actually wear. It’s also a solid everyday beater for car nerds—the sapphire, 100 m WR, and Bluetooth timekeeping mean less fuss, more drive.
If you prefer stealth, the branding will be too loud. And while the water rating is legit, a leather-topped strap isn’t ideal for regular dunks—swap to a rubber or metal option for pool days.
Bottom line
At $330, the ECBS10NIS-7A hits a sweet spot: real motorsport storytelling, practical Edifice tech, and the kind of detail work that makes collecting fun. As anniversary pieces go, this one actually earns its stripes.
