But recently, they\u2019ve released a variant that\u2019s got us asking: Does this really count as vintage?\u00a0Because to a time traveller, everything can be retro and modern at the same time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">That\u2019s right, this is a version of the CA-500, the <b>CA-500WEBF-1A<\/b>, that\u2019s based on Doc Brown\u2019s DeLorean time machine from <b>Back to the Future<\/b>. The watch was made in collaboration with Universal Products &amp; Experiences, an arm of Universal Studios which distributed the original trilogy of films.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"_base_1xuyu_1 _tiktok_1xuyu_26\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed\/v2\/7567299715218394375?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc&amp;web_id=7563879667637175816\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.5625\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">It\u2019s crazy to think that such a classic movie was released 40 years ago, and this watch marks exactly that occasion. Apart from the metallic finish adapted from the DeLorean, the watch takes its cues from the time machine\u2019s \u2018OUTATIME\u2019 license plate and time circuit display that showed the DeLorean\u2019s present and destination time. The back of the watch also has an engraving of a flux capacitor, to make it look even more like a time machine itself.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"_figure_8nc2s_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/a171395c9e5b4dbad4bb138ae5f11a044fc52aeb0e1d4c66b1c86f8b5eb7a755?w=330&amp;q=85 330w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/a171395c9e5b4dbad4bb138ae5f11a044fc52aeb0e1d4c66b1c86f8b5eb7a755?w=530&amp;q=85 530w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/a171395c9e5b4dbad4bb138ae5f11a044fc52aeb0e1d4c66b1c86f8b5eb7a755?w=660&amp;q=85 660w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/a171395c9e5b4dbad4bb138ae5f11a044fc52aeb0e1d4c66b1c86f8b5eb7a755 1140w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/a171395c9e5b4dbad4bb138ae5f11a044fc52aeb0e1d4c66b1c86f8b5eb7a755?w=660&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.5;contain-intrinsic-size:1140px 760px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_8nc2s_113\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_8nc2s_120\">The calculator panel on the watch face takes inspiration from the time circuit displays on the DeLorean.<\/p>\n<p>Image: Casio<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"_figure_8nc2s_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/0d7cd766e290920039df5847552900c6c1de0a2ed942b5d2ca329345630e6a8d?w=330&amp;q=85 330w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/0d7cd766e290920039df5847552900c6c1de0a2ed942b5d2ca329345630e6a8d?w=530&amp;q=85 530w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/0d7cd766e290920039df5847552900c6c1de0a2ed942b5d2ca329345630e6a8d?w=660&amp;q=85 660w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/0d7cd766e290920039df5847552900c6c1de0a2ed942b5d2ca329345630e6a8d 1140w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/0d7cd766e290920039df5847552900c6c1de0a2ed942b5d2ca329345630e6a8d?w=660&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.5;contain-intrinsic-size:1140px 760px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_8nc2s_113\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_8nc2s_120\">The engraved illustration of the DeLorean\u2019s flux capacitor on the back of the watch.<\/p>\n<p>Image: Casio<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Being a CA-500, this model also comes with the features of the watch line, including the 8-digit calculator, basic water resistance (rated by Casio as being suitable for splashes but not showers or swimming), a 1\/100-second stopwatch and five-year battery life via a CR2016 battery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The watch was priced at <b>S$185<\/b>, but unfortunately, the watch was made available at 11am on 31 October, and quickly sold out within the hour.
