Our watch of the week is a true all-rounder. This men's watch has a solar-powered radio-controlled movement and is also very convincing in terms of looks. Here are the following features:
Radio-controlled watches and solar radio-controlled watches
A radio-controlled watch is a quartz watch that can receive a time signal broadcast by a time signal transmitter via radio and use that information to adjust its internal quartz movement. The time usually appears on an LCD display, often combined with the date and additional functions such as an alarm and temperature. The radio signal is DCF77. This radio-controlled watch transmitter is a longwave transmitter in Mainflingen near Frankfurt am Main, which supplies most radio-controlled watches in Western Europe with the legally valid time in Germany.
In addition to stationary radio-controlled watches powered by solar cells, there are wristwatches with this type of power supply. This eliminates the need to change the battery. The solar radio-controlled watch was largely developed by Karl Diehl and Karl Gebhardt. Thanks to a built-in rechargeable battery, the watch is supplied with energy in darkness; this is called dark running time.
The first solar radio-controlled watches still had a relatively high energy consumption and relatively weak solar cells. As a result, there could be insufficient power supply. Modern models achieve dark running times of two years as a men's wristwatch. Artificial light is also enough to charge the energy storage.
Special features of the Eco Tech Time EGT-11339-60M
Our watch of the week also has a solar-powered radio-controlled movement. On the anthracite-colored dial, you can check the battery level on a small display. It also has many other pleasant features. The case and the silver-colored link bracelet of the radio-controlled wristwatch are made of the premium material titanium. In addition to the standard date display, the men's watch can also show world time for 38 cities. The time can also be read either on an analog display, which has silver-colored baton hour markers, or on a digital display.
Remember: Easter is just around the corner. If you still don't have a gift, why not give your loved one a little Easter treat, because this watch also makes a great gift and looks lovely in an Easter basket.
