Casio Revives Calculator Watch for ‘Back to the Future’ 40th in Limited Edition

Reported pricing lands near $120/€119/£114 with U.S. availability around Oct. 21.

Overview

  • Casio has announced the CA-500WEBF-1A to commemorate the film’s 40th anniversary, updating its 1980s calculator-watch lineage.
  • The design references the DeLorean with a silver metal case, colored buttons echoing the time-control panel, and a flux‑capacitor engraving on the back.
  • Functions stay true to the original formula with an 8‑digit calculator, stopwatch, alarm, 12/24‑hour display options, basic water resistance, and VHS-style packaging.
  • Multiple outlets report U.S. sales are expected around Oct. 21 with a European rollout around Oct. 22 at roughly £114/€119/US$120.
  • Casio is positioning the release as a limited run, and regional availability remains uneven, with Casio México not yet confirming local sales.
