By Editor_wr Last updated Feb 28, 2025
CASIO is celebrating the 45th anniversary of PAC-MAN, one of the most beloved arcade games in history, with the launch of a special PAC-MAN collaboration watch collection. Featuring four unique digital timepieces, this collection brings the nostalgic charm of classic arcade gaming to the wrist, combining CASIO's signature vintage watch designs with the vibrant aesthetics of PAC-MAN and its pixelated world.
First released in 1980, PAC-MAN became a global phenomenon, cementing itself as one of the most successful arcade games of all time. Decades later, its influence remains undeniable, with 'PAC-MAN Fever' still capturing the hearts of gaming enthusiasts worldwide.
'PAC-MAN has been a cultural icon for over four decades, and this collaboration brings together two brands that defined the 1980s in their own way,' said Takashi SEIMIYA, the managing director at CASIO Middle East and Africa. 'These watches are a tribute to the golden age of gaming, designed for both longtime PAC-MAN fans and a new generation of retro gaming enthusiasts.'
Four Designs That Capture the Spirit of PAC-MAN: A168WEPC & F-91WPC – These models incorporate PAC-MAN and the four GHOSTS (Blinky, Inky, Clyde, and Pinky) into a bold, colourful face layout with vivid neon hues. The signature 'WAKA WAKA' sound effect from the game is featured on the A168WEPC's clasp cover and LCD display, as well as the F-91WPC's band loop, adding a playful, interactive touch.

ABL-100WEPC & CA-53WPC – Designed to resemble PAC-MAN game screens, these models feature the iconic maze and characters running across the watch face. The ABL-100WEPC features a sleek, black monochromatic design reminiscent of early arcade displays, while the CA-53WPC, with its yellow bezel, captures the look of a classic arcade cabinet.
Each watch is engraved with PAC-MAN branding on the case back and comes in unique special-edition packaging, making them must-have collector's items.
Now available across CASIO retailers in UAE, the PAC-MAN x CASIO collaboration is the ultimate blend of gaming nostalgia and everyday functionality, appealing to both retro gaming lovers and vintage watch enthusiasts.

Bills Mafia has a new queen. Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen and actress Hailee Steinfeld married Saturday in what People described as a "gorgeous California wedding." Allen, 29, and Steinfeld, 28, both are California natives. The couple has been together about two years. Allen proposed last Nov. 22 in Malibu, Calif., during the Bills' bye week. The couple shared photos of the waterfront proposal, surrounded by flowers and candles, on Instagram. Allen enters the 2025 season as the reigning NFL Most Valuable Player. He credited Steinfeld for her support when he received the award at the NFL Honors ceremony in February in New Orleans. "You've been my rock, you're my best friend. I would not be standing on the stage if it weren't for you," Allen said to Steinfeld, who was watching from the crowd. Steinfeld is known for a variety of movie roles, including in the "Pitch Perfect" franchise and the voice of Gwen Stacy in the "Spider-Man" films. She starred in the 2025 release "Sinners." Reuters
