Citizen Chrono Time AT

[alterego]

Dear fellow members. I am in love with a new watch. This is a gen Citizen Chrono Time with radio controlled adjustmwent. (AT) The watch is beautiful and I'd like to get one but I don't know if this will work fine in zones where there is not an atomic clock to send the signal to it. I know there is an atomich clock in the USAas well as in Europe and Japan, but, what about if I travel to other parts of the world ? 

I'd be very be happy to hear some tips on this matter, before I take the plungo, which is not that deep ($ 895 retail for a quartz watch) but which I cpuld spend in one of those super reps that one see in the Trade section of the forum.

 

Thank you for reading my question and I hope to get some answers.

 

Cheers

Give a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_clock#List_of_radio_time_signal_stations

 

I would be concerned anyway: I don't know if a watch that is able to synch with a 60 and 77.5 kHz (UK, Jap, US - Germany) can, for instance, synch also with a 5MHz antenna in Argentina.

Anyway, I'm wearing now a radiocontrolled Analog+Digital Casio watch (my battle horse one) and I'm far from any antenna (I'm south of Naples for work) and it's working as a normal quartz watch. Same for my 2 weeks in Lagos (Nigeria) last January.

Hi GenTLe:

 

Thank you for your comment on my question. I think there should be no problem i purchasing the watch if this is going to work as an analog quartz watch, regardless tyhe proximity of the radio signal. My concern is if the Citizen will work without a close signal,  as your Casio does.

 

Cheers !

I would say yes it will just not sync with signal to verify time, just keep chugging along!

 

GenTLe like that thanks off to price one out.

Hey for 69 bucks I can use to set my other watches!

I have a couple of G-Shocks that just carry on regardless if they can't sync and I'd imagine all the atomic sync watches are the same.

Actually they MUST be the same: they've a synch mechanism added to a quartz watch = they're normal quartz watch with something more added

Otherwise they couldn't work at all
