Casio CA-53W-1 Calculator Watch | Back to the Future Cult Icon | Retro LCD Digital | NOS SHORT DESCRIPTION A true Casio cult icon from old inventory: this CA-53W-1 Calculator Watch is a New Old Stock (NOS), unused example, preserved with its original Casio hangtags. The CA-53W combines unmistakable 1980s retro-futuristic design with one of the most distinctive features ever fitted to a digital wristwatch – a fully integrated 8-digit calculator with physical keypad. The model achieved worldwide recognition through its association with Marty McFly in Back to the Future Part II (1989) and Back to the Future Part III (1990). Its instantly recognizable calculator layout, black resin construction and classic LCD display have made it an enduring symbol of the digital-watch era. Its pop-culture legacy extends beyond Back to the Future: the CA-53W is also famously associated with Walter White in Breaking Bad. More than simply a digital watch, the CA-53W has become an unmistakable piece of Casio design and pop-culture history, combining retro technology, functionality and an aesthetic that remains instantly recognizable decades later.
