Mike please find enclosed a copy of an e-mail that was sent to me. This
is all I know about the quartz watch.
Hey, R wall -
A radio controlled wrist watch receives radio signals from the national
time source (Fort Collins, Co, USA in our case) which are sent from the
average of 12 cesium clocks and resets its internal quartz mechanism on
a nightly basis. It is therefore neverless accurate than about
0.1sec/day max error and most are closer.
Contact Junghans in Germany to see if there is a model for Australia.
Ours would never reset down under (in Australia) and would just
accumulate its tiny error forever, unless you sent it back to me
perodically for a brain transplant.

Thanks Roderick Wall.
