The Casio Nighttime Drive series from Edifice features a trio of watches with bi-colour bezels.

There are two bezel designs. One in blue and yellow that's inspired by driving under headlights and street lamps during the night. The other is a fusion of blue and silver that's supposed to mimic the look and feel of driving through city streets. 

Here are the three models in the Nighttime Drive series:

  • ECB-2000NP
  • ECB-40NP
  • EQS-940NL

The Edifice ECB-2000NP comes with a blue and yellow-gold gradated metal bezel that's achieved using ionplating. The dial components feature matching blue and yellow-gold accents as well. The look is completed with a dark blue rubber band.

The Edifice ECB-40NP and EQS-940NL both feature gradated blue and silver metal bezels that are achieved using ion-plating as well. Both also feature matching blue and silver accents on the dials.

Both the Edifice ECB-2000NP and EQS-940NL use solar power to draw energy from natural and artificial light sources to power the watch. This helps to reduce the number of battery replacements needed. But the Edifice ECB-2000NP features what Casio calls "Tough Solar" combined with a large-capacity rechargeable battery so the watch can operate smoothly even when using power-hungry functions.

Both the Edifice ECB-2000NP and ECP-40NP use built-in Bluetooth to connect with a smartphone. Users can manage the watch via a phone app, accessing features such as automatic time zone updates, stopwatch data transfer and even a phone finder locator. 

Each timepiece in the series is equipped with a double LED light system so users can effortlessly check the time even under dimly lit environments. Additionally, with the hand shift feature, users can temporarily adjust the position of the watch hands to make it easier to view things.
