Back to the Future

Watches

Casio CA-50

Worn by Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly. Marty's calculator watch handles eight-digit arithmetic on the wrist. Teddy Baldassarre's survey of screen watches names "Casio's CA-50" as Marty's watch and its successor, the CA-53W, as "the watch worn in the two sequels". (Teddy Baldassarre) Oracle of Time instead gives the first film's watch as the "CA53W calculator watch released in 1984", and recalls that it "almost gets him in trouble in 1955 when it starts beeping".

Seiko A826

Worn by Christopher Lloyd as Emmett Brown. Doc wears the Seiko on his right wrist, one of several timers he keeps on him. The A826 is a digital "training timer" that was genuinely advanced for 1985, recording split-second timing through a remote trigger and switching modes when the bezel is twisted. The rotating-bezel digital look reads as pure gadget on a man who builds a time machine in his garage. (Oracle of Time) Montres de Luxe independently identifies the same Seiko A826 Training Timer on Christopher Lloyd's wrist. (Montres de Luxe)

Casio CA-500WEBF-1A

Official product partnership, not an in-work appearance. Casio marked the film's fortieth anniversary in October 2025 with a calculator watch whose dial reads "CASIO OUTATIME since1985", its keypad rows coloured like the DeLorean's time circuits, a flux capacitor engraved on the caseback and packaging shaped like a VHS cassette. It is a tribute built four decades later, not the watch Marty McFly wears, which is the black-resin Casio CA-50. Casio published no edition size, and names no rights holder for the film on the release or on any regional product page. (Casio)
