Considering the environment, automotive clocks are remarkably good. (I'm talking about the quartz ones here, although I certainly have a lot of respect for the motor-wound spring ones that were common up through the 1970's and maybe early 80's). The cars I deal with, twice a year we add or subtract an hour for daylight savings time, but other than that the only time I ever set the minutes is when a new car battery and/or alternator goes in, which is like every 5 or 7 years. That is impressively good for a quartz crystal exposed to -40 to 150F temperatures. Are they really TCXO's or just really solidly specced and built?
