Take a step back to 1976 with a timepiece that pays homage to the world’s first multifunctional digital clock, the Casio CQ-1.

The revolutionary CQ-1 — a clock, alarm, stopwatch and calculator all in one — solicited so much affection. Casio now revives this ’70s design in timepiece form, bringing the original CQ-1 color schemes to a trio of iconic CA-500 models equipped with eight-digit calculator function.

Vintage ’70s flair meets contemporary style for a timepiece as eye-catching as it is nostalgic.

 

CQ-1

A popular, personal-sized digital clock with innovative functionality. Designed to accommodate people’s daily schedules from the moment they got up in the morning, the CQ-1 featured a unique combination of four functions: time display (clock); time memory (alarm); time measurement (stopwatch); and time calculation (calculator). This memorable product served as the launching pad for the development of subsequent Casio combined-function innovations.

Retro pop calculator watches:

Modelled after the CQ-1 combination clock-calculator

This trio of CA-500 watches pays homage to the CQ-1, a calculator with a clock function Casio introduced in 1976. 

The CQ-1 combination clock-calculator

This popular, personal-sized digital clock with innovative functionality debuted in 1976. Designed to accommodate people’s daily schedules, starting with getting up in the morning, the CQ-1 featured a unique combination of four functions: time display (a clock); time memory (an alarm); time measurement (a stopwatch); and time calculation (a calculator). This memorable product served as a launching pad for subsequent Casio combined-function development.

Retro pop colours and design

Choose from a trio of retro pop hues selected from the original CQ-1 colour lineup: red, yellow, and white. Design pays homage to the CQ-1 with multicolour accents, the typeface used for mode indicators, and more. A green-hued negative LCD mimics the look of the vacuum-fluorescent displays that calculators had at the time.

Calculated style

The calculator function can handle 8-digit computations. The face combines a full keypad with an LCD for a streamlined gadgety look.

Historic Lineup

The unique face design, featuring a full keypad, captures the look of the historic original calculator’s colour scheme and design, down to the most intricate details.
