It wasn't the first watchmaker to release a wristworn calculator, but by making them affordable, Casio's calculator watches became an icon of '80s technology. It was even the timepiece of choice for Back to the Future's Marty McFly, and as 2025 marks the 40th anniversary of that film's release, Casio is once again resurrecting one of its most popular calculator watch models and giving it a time machine makeover.
In a fusion of nostalgia, technology, and cinematic history, Casio Computer Co., Ltd. has unveiled the CA-500WEBF, a Back to the Future-inspired digital timepiece that commemorates the 40th anniversary of the legendary Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment film. This collaboration is a fitting tribute to both the enduring influence of the Back to the Future trilogy and Casio's legacy as a pioneer of digital innovation.
The ever-popular Ultimate Trilogy will be replaced by the 40th Anniversary Trilogy, a box set with over nine hours of bonus features, including new retrospective featurettes on the original 1985 classic. The 40th Anniversary Trilogy also has an Amazon-exclusive Steelbook Gift Set edition with some unique collectibles like a replica mini Gibson guitar. Unsurprisingly, the $150 Gift Set sold out in approximately 10 minutes, but at the time of writing, it's back in stock at Amazon with a purchasing limit of one per customer.
