Few brands have captured the spirit of innovation quite like Japanese brand Casio. Known for turning everyday objects into symbols of futuristic design, Casio has long blurred the line between utility and imagination. In the 1980s, when digital technology was still finding its footing, the Japanese brand transformed the wristwatch with a calculator — an accessory that made math easy right on the wrist, a futuristic move for the time.
That watch, Casio CA-500, was featured on Back to the Future's protagonist Marty McFly wrist in 1985. In no time, this futuristic timepiece became an unmistakable symbol of the ‘80s.
Four decades later, Casio Vintage is bringing back this iconic watch – as a tribute to one of the greatest science fiction classics of all time: "Back to the Future." The new limited-edition model CA-500WEBF-1AER plays with the visual codes of the DeLorean, the time machine par excellence. The colored buttons are reminiscent of the time circuits, and the case back is adorned with the flux capacitor – the iconic fictional device that catapulted Marty through time.
Every detail of this watch has been carefully considered: the silver case and stainless steel bracelet exude timeless elegance, the buckle bears the film's official logo, and the packaging is a small work of art in itself—like an old videotape that captures the magic of the film world.
It's not just a nostalgic item, but a collector's item that charmingly combines technology, design, and pop culture. The CA-500WEBF-1AER is a limited edition, available from October 22nd for Rs 12,000 (approx.) – online at Casio and select retailers.
