Nostalgia is not measured in minutes, but in style. Casio returns to the ring with a piece that encapsulates the retro spirit of eighties cinema

In some fashion magazine I read that in fashion everything is going backwards, except prices: now, with the rise of trends and retro inspiration, the attachment to nostalgia leads us to look longingly at objects that will be the dream of every collector, as is the new Casio watch with which he returns to the arena of watches of yesteryear with a piece that seems taken directly from the cinematic imagination of the 80s.

This new Casio watch is a tribute clearly designed for lovers of cinema and retro pop culture, a modern reinterpretation of that calculator watch that accompanied a Marty McFly en ‘Back to the future’ and that with this special edition the brand not only revives an object from the past, but reinvents it for those who want to wear nostalgia, not in their memories, but on their wrist.

From the first glance, this watch reveals that we are not looking at a conventional watch: its dial incorporates details taken directly from the iconic DeLorean: the colors of the buttons recreate the temporal circuits that appear in the film, evoking that visual bridge between the functional object and the science fiction gadget.

Also, on the back of the box, Casio has recorded the “capacitor flux”that mythical piece that makes time travel possible in fiction, a nod that reinforces the emotional connection with the saga. But not everything is form: the CA-500WEBF-1A also maintains a practical soul, preserving the functionality of an 8-digit calculator with physical buttons, in addition to functions such as stopwatch and automatic calendar until the year 2099, alarm, double time and 12 and 24 hour format.

In addition to its retro design, its case size of 43.2 x 34.4 x 8.2 mm combines a resin structure with a metal bracelet and an automatic adjustment system avoids having to remove links.

This model is no coincidence: it arrives just to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ‘Back to the Future’ and is designed as a limited edition that appeals to both collectors and nostalgic people who lived or plan to relive the eighties, taking care of every detail. so as not to be a merely aesthetic collaborationbut seeks that each element summons that retro spirit without falling into kitsch.

With an approximate price of 129 euros for Spain, this piece is a wink full of style that takes us on a journey through time, becoming a unique model for collectors, both of watches and merchandise from the film.
