The NISMO Heritage Edition marks forty years since Nissan Motorsports was founded in 1984, and Casio has treated the occasion as more than a colour exercise. The strap carries the names of NISMO champions from 1984 to 1997 printed along its length, the dial reproduces the stripe pattern of the original racing suits, and the orange band at the top of the dial is drawn directly from the windshield banner of the Skyline R32. The NISMO logo at twelve o'clock is lumed to glow in the dark — a deliberate nod to the fluorescent car numbers the Group C endurance cars wore through the night stages of long-distance races. At 9.6mm thick and 69 grams, it sits far closer to the wrist than a 43mm multi-function watch has any obligation to do, and wears more like a daily driver than a commemorative piece. The white genuine leather strap — red on the underside of the short section, blue suede-like synthetic on the long — carries those racing colours without announcing them from across the room. When the digital display needs reading, the analog hands step aside automatically rather than obscuring the LCD, which is a more considered solution than it sounds after a week of actual use.

Learn more about Casio

Tadao Kashio founded Kashio Seisakujo in Tokyo in 1946 as a machine shop. The company's first success was a finger ring that held a cigarette, and its second was the 14-A of 1957 — the world's first all-electric compact calculator, which used solenoids rather than gears.

Casio entered watchmaking in 1974 with the Casiotron, a digital watch with an automatic calendar that knew the varying lengths of months. The company approached watches as an electronics manufacturer rather than a horological one, and that difference produced the G-Shock.

The G-Shock came from a single engineer, Kikuo Ibe, who broke a watch his father had given him and set out to build one that could not break. The specification was three tens: survive a ten-metre drop, ten bars of water pressure, and ten years of battery life. It took over two hundred prototypes, and the solution was suspending the module inside the case on a cushioned internal structure rather than mounting it rigidly. The DW-5000C shipped in 1983.

It became one of the most durable product designs in any category, adopted by militaries, emergency services, and skateboarders alike, and Casio has since added solar charging, radio and GPS timekeeping, Bluetooth, and full-metal and carbon variants.

Casio also produces the Edifice, Pro Trek, and Oceanus lines, and remains an independent Japanese public company.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch

Can I swim with it?

Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.

Will the glass scratch?

Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.

Does it need a battery?

No. It charges from light, and the cell behind that is designed to last a decade or more.

What size strap does it take?

20mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.

Will it fit my wrist?

Lug-to-lug is 48mm, which suits wrists from roughly 16.5cm (6½ inches) upward.

Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as men's.
