With its distinctive off-white resin case and integrated calculator keypad, this timepiece captures the spirit of 1980s innovation while offering the reliability and affordability that has made Casio a household name worldwide. The clean digital display provides instant legibility, while the integrated 8-digit calculator transforms your wrist into a functional computational tool, perfect for quick calculations on the go.
Measuring 34.4mm in width and 43.2mm in length, this compact quartz watch sits comfortably on wrists of all sizes. The lightweight resin construction—weighing just 25 grams—ensures all-day comfort, whether you're working at your desk, exploring the city, or simply appreciating the nostalgic charm of retro digital design. The CA-53WF-8BDF offers far more than timekeeping: dual time zones allow you to track a second time zone simultaneously, while the 1/100-second stopwatch provides precise timing for up to 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59.99 seconds with elapsed time and split time functions.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to offer this distinctive piece from our carefully curated collection of CASIO watches, each representing exceptional value and Japanese precision engineering.

Water resistance provides protection against splashes and brief immersion, making this an ideal everyday companion for the urban professional or the retro-tech enthusiast.
The CA-53WF-8BDF's calculator function, world time capability, alarm, and stopwatch make it far more than a simple timepiece—it's a wrist-worn toolkit that combines utility with unmistakable vintage-inspired style.

Care Guide
- Clean the resin case and strap regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dirt, sweat, and oils that can accumulate during wear.
