Casio launches digital watch model inspired by Netflix hit series Stranger Things
Japanese electronics giant Casio Computer Co’s new watch, the A120WEST, is a neat retro tribute, a collaboration model inspired by the Netflix cult series Stranger Things (2016 to present) which is set in the 1980s.
It is based on the classic A120, a model which Casio also released in the 1980s.
The A120WEST is a spin on the Upside Down, a parallel universe in the series that co-exists with the human world.
Set in small-town America, Stranger Things chronicles the adventures of a boy as he is drawn, together with family and friends, into a web of intrigue that hints of top-secret experiments and supernatural forces.
As a nod to the series’ creepy beings and characters, the watch features designs such as tentacles on the back of the casing and a Demogorgon, a creature that lives in the Upside Down, appearing menacingly at the centre of the watch face.
Info: The Stranger Things Series, priced at $139, goes on sale at shopee.sg/casiosg casio.com/sg
