Casio’s new Back to the Future-inspired watch has launched - here’s how to get it
Celebrate the cult 1980s film with a watch released on Back to the Future Day
Just like that, Casio’s Back to the Future-inspired spin on the brand’s classic timepiece has sold out. Only available in limited numbers, the watch went on sale today (21 October 2025) and was as popular as expected.
The anticipated Casio CA-500WEBF-1A marked 40 years since the first Back to the Future film hit cinema screens. Inspired by the Casio CA-53, made famous by Michael J Fox when he played Marty McFly, the watch is a stylish and perfectly retro-futuristic memento of the classic blockbuster.
With features such as a dial reminiscent of Doc Brown’s DeLorean time machine and an ‘Outatime’ engraving (a tribute to the DeLorean’s number plate), the soon-to-be collectable is bound to make film buffs envious.
If you missed out on the Back to the Future design or after a similar retro timepiece, Casio has also reimagined its eighties calculator watch in gold, silver and gunmetal which are sure to delight any nostalgic fashion fanatic.
