Summary

  • The CA-500WEBF models Casio’s classic calculator watch with distinct cues from the DeLorean and time circuits.
  • It retains full calculator, stopwatch, alarm, date functions and is water resistant.
  • The watch ships in VHS-style packaging and is set for preorder starting October 21, 2025.

Casio is reconnecting with its retro roots by launching the CA-500WEBF as a commemorative piece for Back to the Future’s 40th anniversary. The brand is taking its classic calculator watch and layering in subtle (and not so subtle) nods to the film’s iconic imagery.

At its heart, the CA-500WEBF remains a fully functional digital calculator watch with an eight digit calculator, stopwatch, daily alarm, auto calendar, water resistance, and a battery life rated around five years. What changes are purely aesthetic, though charming. The button labels use color cues pulled from the DeLorean’s time circuits, the face hints at the car’s taillight pattern and the “OUTATIME” license plate, the caseback bears an engraved flux capacitor motif, and the buckle is etched with the Back to the Future logo.

The collaboration is official, with Casio working in concert with Universal Products Experiences. Each watch comes packaged in a VHS-style box, an inspired touch for collectors and fans of the 1980s.

Casio is opening preorders on October 21, 2025. In the U.K., it is priced at £115, translating roughly to $150 to $160 USD depending on region.

If you are a fan of 1980s tech, Back to the Future lore, or simply love a watch with narrative built into its design, the CA-500WEBF merits a spot on your radar. Preorder details will be live on Casio’s site on October 21.
