National Geographic Atomic Clip Watch

Item#:1073345

Qty: Available, ready to ship.






Keep highly accurate time while sightseeing or on the trail with this sturdy carabiner clip watch. Clips onto a backpack or belt loop for quick and easy access. With rugged styling and a classic leather strap and backing, this analog watch syncs to signals from the U.S. atomic clock for maintenance-free use. Displays both 12-hour and 24-hour military time, day of the week, and digital date and seconds.

  • Included: batteries. We recommend having a jewelry change the batteries. The case is difficult to get into in order to best protect the atomic mechanism inside.
  • Mineral glass face.
  • 1 3/4''W x 5 1/2''L; 2 oz.

We recommend having the watch battery replaced by a jeweler, as it is intentionally difficult to remove the back. This helps protect the watch mechanism. However, as global atomic functionality is relatively new, even experienced jewelers may have a difficult time re-setting the watch. Here are the steps to follow.

  • The hour and minute must be manually set:
  • Set the hour by pressing the bottom right button until the three-letter city code blinks. Press the button quickly two more times until you see "H" on the screen with a blinking number next to it. Press the top button to scroll through the hours, keeping in mind that this is displaying 24-hour clock time. Press the bottom right button again to set hour. You'll see a "wait" icon and the second hand will spin as the watch adjusts itself.
  • Set the minutes by pressing the bottom right button until the three-letter city code blinks. Press the button quickly three more times until you see "M" on the screen with a blinking number next to it. Press the top button to scroll through the minutes. Press the bottom right button again to set the minutes. You'll see a "wait" icon and the second hand will spin as the watch adjusts itself.
