Casio Revives the Retro Spirit, Celebrating 'Back To The Future' Movie's 40th Anniversary with Special Edition Watch

As the world prepares to remember the 40th anniversary of Robert Zemeckis’ beloved science fiction classic ‘Back To The Future’ in 2025, esteemed watchmaker Casio offers a timely tribute. Casio presents a special edition of their Calculator watch, initially popularised in the smash hit movie’s initial release in 1985.

The film’s timeless ensemble teaming up Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd as they navigate past and future has left a lasting impression, its power undiminished even after four decades. Much like the enduring impact of Casio’s durable timepieces, ‘Back To The Future’ and its consequent franchise extensions have retained their charm, kept alive in the hearts of fans through multiple spinoffs, merchandising, and a celebrated animated series. Despite the ongoing health struggles of lead actor Michael J. Fox, the franchise’s allure has hardly faded, invoking awe and imagination even today.

While one might question why Casio did not reproduce Marty McFly’s exact calculator watch, the answer is simple. The original watch, a black colored Casio CA53W-1, is still in production as part of Casio’s “Vintage” line. Along with the CA53W-1, Casio continues to produce a wide array of similarly styled Calculator watches, creating timepieces that transport us back in time, without breaking the bank.
