Official ECB-2000 Series Description.

Take control of speed and intelligence with a solar-powered analog-digital combination EDIFICE.

Inspired by formula car suspension, the SOSPENSIONE ECB-2000 is the first EDIFICE with a carbon fiber-reinforced resin case, thanks to a unique case design that arranges the lugs in a four-arm configuration. The lugs too are reinforced with carbon fiber, bringing the true motorsports spirit to both the design and the materials of this timepiece.

It’s a snap to sync with your smartphone via Bluetooth®. Tap into the dedicated app to access the to-the-second precision timekeeping that is so important for racing teams, and to effortlessly manage world time and transfer stopwatch data measured to the millisecond to your smartphone. The LED Super Illuminator light makes viewing the analog-digital face a non-issue, and the Tough Solar system keeps you charged and running even high-load functions with just a small amount of light.

CARBON CASE WITH SUSPENSION ARM DESIGN

The first carbon fibre-reinforced resin case in the EDIFICE line, employing a suspension arm design. A mechanical face with a race car-inspired motif. And on top of all that, Smartphone Link and Tough Solar features that provide support for racing activities. An embodiment of the functionality and reliability racing teams demand, achieved with a unique design approach and advanced technologies informed by a “real motorsports” concept.

INNOVATIVE DESIGN

Unique case design with a motif inspired by formula car suspension. Just like the four-arm suspension used in race cars, with two arms above and two below, the lugs are configured in a four-arm arrangement. In a first for the EDIFICE line, carbon fibre-reinforced resin is used for the case. Leveraging the material’s characteristic combination of strength and lightness, the watch delivers the durability and fit to support even intensive use by racing mechanics.

SMARTPHONE LINK

Smartphone Link offers the functionality to provide support to racing teams. Beyond its precise timekeeping, the app makes it easy to configure various functions, including world time, and responds to the time management needs of teams that travel to races around the world with reliability and practicality. In addition to the watch’s 200-lap memory for the stopwatch timer, it allows data transfer to the app as well, offering a convenient way to manage racing data.

TOUGH SOLAR

Generates ample power for smooth operation of various functions from sunlight or even light from fluorescent lamps. Optimisation of the rechargeable battery capacity and a power-saving internal system design allow approximately seven months of operation from a full charge without solar charging.

COUNTDOWN INDICATOR

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.
