On October 21, ‘Back to the Future’ completes 40 years since its release. To mark the occasion, is tying up with the film’s franchise, Universal Products & Experiences, to reimagine the classic Casio CA-500 with the theme of Back to the Future at the forefront. The retro-futuristic timepiece is the CA-500WEBF-1A, which Casio defines is born from the spirit of the movie.
The new collaborative model is based on the best seller of the 1980s. It was the same calculator watch Michael J. Fox (Marty McFly – the protagonist – in the film trilogy) wore in the first Back to the Future movie, released in 1984. In the subsequent parts, the wearable was upgraded to the Casio CA53W. Now, the special edition anniversary model of the watch, designed through Marty’s lens, is provided with instantly recognizable time-travel motifs from the flick.
Designer:
The Casio CA-500WEBF-1A is the classic calculator watch with the same features, of course. It wears a similar eight-digit calculator, stopwatch, alarm, and calendar function. Like the CA-500, this is also water-resistant and features a long-lasting battery. But the difference lies in the visual appearance, which sees the classic watch transformed into a miniature DeLorean-inspired time machine with a polished silver case.
Engineered specifically for fans and collectors, Casio CA-500WEBF is scheduled to launch on October 21 for an asking price of $114.90. The themed watch features a face inspired by the DeLorean time machine itself. It features the distinctive taillights and OUTATIME license plates and you’ll find different colors around the nostalgic push-button controls suggestive of the film’s time circuits, which display destination date and time.
The inspiration is not just limited to the watch face; it’s also apparent on the caseback and the watch strap. The caseback of the Casio CA-500WEBF-1A is engraved with the flux capacitor, and the strap buckle carries the Back to the Future logo. To make things really interesting for the fans, Casio plans to provide the watch in a specially designed videotape-style box, which it references as a ‘true homage to 1985 and the golden age of home video.’
Casio and Back to the Future share a special relationship that dates back to the start of the trilogy. The timeless wearables from the brand have been part of the iconic trilogy from 1985 and it’s only fitting that fans have a chance to get memorabilia on the 40 years since when the time travel actually began. If you want to be part of the celebration, get a themed Casio CA-500WEBF-1A on Back to the Future Day – October 21, 2025. Don’t forget to make it fast; the watch will be available in limited numbers online.
