Casio, recognised for its range of digital timepieces that echo the style of the 1980s and 1990s, has joined forces with Bandai Namco Entertainment to commemorate PAC-MAN’s 40th anniversary. This collaboration introduces a series of four watches that offer a playful nod to the classic arcade game, while also highlighting Casio’s long-standing expertise in digital watch design.

The collection brings together four models, each reimagined with design cues inspired by the PAC-MAN universe. The timepieces borrow elements from Casio’s own heritage and combine them with graphics reminiscent of the maze and characters from the iconic game. Each model incorporates subtle references to the arcade era without straying from the functional qualities that Casio users expect.

One of the highlights of the range is the CA53WPC-1B Calculator Watch. This model features a bright yellow bezel that recalls the appearance of the original PAC-MAN game console. The design is straightforward: a small rectangular digital display is framed by buttons that control both the calculator and timekeeping functions.

A blue maze motif runs around the numeral indicators, and at the lower centre of the display, a depiction of PAC-MAN can be seen. The watch clearly channels an arcade machine’s aesthetic, making it an interesting piece for those who appreciate both retro technology and classic gaming.

The ABL100WEPC-1B takes a more understated approach with a predominantly black design. Here, the PAC-MAN maze is arranged around a negative LCD display, maintaining a monochrome theme throughout the watch face.

Yellow PAC-MAN figures on the left and red cherry icons on the right add brief bursts of colour. This model also integrates practical features such as Bluetooth connectivity and a step counter, appealing to users who value additional functionalities alongside the themed design. With a price tag of $130, it represents the higher end of the collection.

The models A168WEPC-7A and F91WPC-1A share a similar design language with slight differences in colour and construction. Both watches incorporate a neon depiction of PAC-MAN that encircles the digital display and include images of the game’s four ghost adversaries positioned at the bottom right.

The A168WEPC-7A comes with a chrome-plated resin case and a stainless steel bracelet, making it slightly more expensive than the all-black resin F91WPC-1A. A notable feature on these models is the hidden "WAKA WAKA" text that appears when the button is pressed, echoing the distinctive sound made by PAC-MAN during gameplay.

Each timepiece in this collection is presented in a collector’s box and includes a special engraving of the PAC-MAN logo on the caseback. Prices range from $59.95 to $130, making the series accessible to a wide audience. Products are availble online directly with with Casio or online retailers (where you can find ad discounts).
