TOKYO,July 20,2021 -- Casio Computer Co.,Ltd. announced today the release of the A100WEPC,a collaboration model featuring the iconic PAC-MAN game that is popular around the world. The A100WEPC is based on the recent reissue of the F-100 digital watch,which was originally released in 1978.
A100WEPC
The PAC-MAN arcade game was first released in 1980 by BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc. (then Namco),and it has countless fans around the world. The F-100 watch was released in 1978 and was the first Casio quartz watch in a resin case,delivering advanced functionality with a stopwatch and calendar functions.
The new A100WEPC watch is based on the recently released A100 watch,which reprises the design of the original F-100,including the unique four-button front layout. The styling is designed to evoke the fun,retro look of the PAC-MAN game. The watch face features colorful pixelated PAC-MAN and ghost characters,and the center ILLUMINATOR logo is rendered using the PAC-MAN font. The face design faithfully replicates the PAC-MAN game screen,down to details like the pink line marking the exit of the nest from which the ghosts emerge. The gold-plated watch case is inspired by the color of the PAC-MAN arcade game cabinet. The top watch band is laser etched with a rendering of PAC-MAN being chased by ghosts,and the reverse scene with PAC-MAN chasing ghosts is rendered on the bottom band. The case back also features the PAC-MAN logo and icons.
The watch comes with special packaging imprinted with PAC-MAN character icons and the game score screen,to deliver the full look of the PAC-MAN game.
