The Casio Databank CA-53WF-2BDF is a modern reissue of one of the most iconic digital calculator watches ever made. Dressed in a confident navy blue resin case and matching integrated strap, this quartz-powered timepiece pays homage to the golden age of digital innovation whilst offering contemporary wearability. The integrated calculator function is fully operational via the dial-mounted buttons, making this watch a genuine tool for everyday arithmetic without reaching for your phone.
Measuring a compact 43.2 × 34.4 × 8.2mm, the CA-53WF sits comfortably on the wrist and weighs just 25 grams. The digital display shows time in hours, minutes, and seconds, with additional functions including dual time for world travellers, a 1/100-second stopwatch with elapsed and split time modes, daily alarm, and auto-calendar. Powered by a CR2016 battery with an approximate five-year lifespan, this is a set-and-forget timepiece that requires minimal maintenance.
