The three new Prospex Radio Sync Solar World Time Chronograph watches offer a precision of one second every 100,000 years and the reliability of a solar powered caliber that never needs a battery change.
The new, more powerful radio wave caliber, can receive time signals across a much wider geographic area than ever before, delivering greatly enhanced coverage in Europe and China, as well as throughout the USA and Japan.
When conditions allow, the time is synchronized automatically, up to three times a day, to the atomic clock signals broadcast in Japan, USA, China and Germany. This adjustment can also be done manually, at any time and at the press of a single button.
In addition, Caliber 8B92 features world time and chronograph functions. It displays 25 time zones and a rotary slide rule on the bezel allows easy calculations and conversion of distance, fuel load, weight and speed.
The exterior design of the watch is made with the real-life needs of the pilot in mind. The bezel edging is designed to be easy to grip; the top surfaces of the buttons on the 3 o’clock (stopwatch) and 9 o’clock (radio sync and world time functions) sides of the case are different, thus minimizing the risk of pressing the wrong button. The hands and indices are coated with Lumibrite and the Hardlex crystal has an anti-reflective coating.
All three models - stainless steel case and bracelet (SSG001); stainless steel case and bracelet with black hard coating (SSG003), and stainless steel case and calf leather strap (SSG005) - will be available in store in August 2016.
