The Casio CA-53W-1 is the all-resin evolution of Casio's wrist calculator, an eight-digit keypad calculator laid out beneath an LCD that also shows time, day and date, and a stopwatch. It descends from the metal-fronted CA-50 of the early 1980s and has stayed in near-continuous catalogue production since the late 1980s, selling for well under $50 with no vintage premium because it was never really discontinued. (Casio) Its anonymity, a functional gadget with no status signal, is exactly what has made it a recurring costume choice for characters defined against wealth or spectacle.
