Great Scott! The iconic Casio calculator watch returns with a limited-edition model that commemorates the 40th anniversary of Robert Zemeckis’ adventure flick Back to the Future. Marty McFly — played by Michael J Fox — famously wore the Casio CA-53 on his time-travel hijinks. Presented as an homage to the DeLorean that made it all possible, the new CA-500 is crafted for true fans and collectors. A polished silver case and retro-futuristic detailing capture the spirit of Doc Brown’s legendary ride. The dial mirrors the film’s time circuit read-outs with functional push-button controls while the caseback is engraved with the DeLorean’s flux capacitor. The cherry on top? It comes in a vintage videotape packaging that will slot right into your VHS collection.
