A jeweler in Japan is promoting wedding ceremony bands with Honda’s seal of approval. Whereas there in all probability isn’t an precise Honda or Acura half quantity for the platinum bridal bands from U-Treasure, the ring units are nonetheless formally sanctioned by Huge Purple within the type of iconic logos, that are engraved on the within of the rings.

For Honda stans like myself, that is love at first sight. I imply, what higher approach to say, “I do” and proclaim your timeless love for an additional automobile fanatic than with a marriage band that claims “VTEC” on it? The bands are a bit on the expensive aspect, beginning at ¥132,000, or simply over $950.00 at present alternate charges. I’m not sure if that’s overpriced for a pair of platinum wedding ceremony bands, however I feel it’s value it given the alternatives of Honda logos obtainable.

There are 12 of them in all, as Automobile Watch studies, starting from the “H” brand to the daring lettering of the total “HONDA” badge. There’s additionally a borderless “H” that appears like a truncated, the other way up “A,” which bolsters my argument that the Acura brand is basically simply the Honda brand flipped on its head. There’s additionally some Kanji characters that I completely can’t learn. And there’s an “HM” brand, which refers back to the stamped initials of a few of Honda’s most esteemed engines.

However a few of my favourite wedding ceremony ring designs from this launch bear the mannequin names of the Prelude and Beat, in addition to these of the Civic Kind R and Integra Kind R — not Kind S. The SiR is there, too, for good measure, as a result of everyone knows that the EP3 Civic SiR hatchback (primarily based on the seventh-generation Civic) is the unsung hero of the historic efficiency Civic lineup.

Fortunately, the marriage bands eschew the gaudy appears to be like of the tenth-generation Honda Civic Kind R. In actual fact, the Honda rings are downright stylish and look fairly understated from afar. Except you made a degree of exhibiting somebody, onlookers would don’t have any clue that beneath that wedding ceremony ring, you’re rocking the beloved “Twin Overhead Camshaft, Valve Timing Electronically Managed” badge. Stylish.

Certainly, love is a Honda. Wait, no. That’s Subaru, although it must be Honda. And now it may be with these wedding ceremony bands. The rings can be found beginning July 10 at U-Treasure’s retailer in Tokyo, Japan, nevertheless it appears to be like like consumers within the U.S. can use a forwarding service to get a set of rings.
