Famous Movie Watches: Back to the Future – Casio CA53-W Twincept Databank

Yes, yes, we could have started with a more luxurious watch. But first of all, the quartz watch from Casio with a built-in calculator prominently featured on the film poster (Michael J. Fox, aka Marty McFly, stares at it and his jaw drops. Because of the time travel, less because of the then-hot gadget). Robert Zemeckis's film made the more useful than beautiful timepiece socially acceptable in 1985. Second, the watch reappeared on screen in 2019 as an "80s supergeek" accessory: Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard) appears to be wearing one in season 3 of Stranger Things . Third: There's the Casio Still available for purchase today. Just as it looked in the 1985 film. And not at exorbitant prices as a collector's item. Instead, it's available for €33.99 on Amazon.
