Retro meets utility in the Casio CA‑53 series—a digital calculator watch that channels vintage tech‑charm into a wearable modern accessory. Whether you’re tapping out sums on the keypad or just nodding to ’80s gadget culture, this watch brings personality, functionality, and heritage together in one compact package.
Measured at 43.2mm × 34.4mm with a thickness of 8.2mm, the resin‑case design keeps it both lightweight and wrist‑friendly—ideal for everyday wear despite its techy appearance. The strap or case material shifts slightly by variant, but all share the same footprint and calculator‑enabled layout, with a 20mm lug width ready for customisation.
Powering the series is a quartz digital module 3208 with an eight‑digit calculator, dual‑time function, 1/100‑second stopwatch, daily alarm, and full auto‑calendar to the year 2099. With battery life of approx. five years on CR2016 and accuracy around ±15 seconds/month, the CA‑53 is as practical as it is playful.

Casio is a brand name most people are familiar with. Founded in 1946 in Japan as Kashio Seisakujo and reestablished as Casio Computer Co., Ltd. in 1957 - they’ve made everything from the world’s first all-electric calculator to synthesizers, cameras, and more. Of course, they are also famous for their watches, which include G-Shock, Pro Trek, Edifice, and other tech-forward brands. The Casio Vintage line, as the name suggests, celebrates their earliest digital timepieces. Always fun and irreverent, these fashionable watches are affordable and a great addition to one’s watch box.
