Riehl Synchronar Sunwatch

This is my Riehl Synchronar Sunwatch model with the quartz movement MK1. Made in USA.

 

I use this only on rare occasions as it is a very special watch. It is the first solar powered watch and claimed by its creator to be the first LED-watch too, thus making it the first digital electronic watch. Sliders on the sides are used to show and set both time and date. Originally gel filled, this watch would manage 200 m water resistance and a battery life longer than expected by the watch itself. The bracelet is an unmarked brushed stainless steel bracelet.
