It even has an alarm!!! Love that watch I wear it at least once per week (I have a small and humble collection).
When I received it the battery leaked and I had it cleaned for the grand sum of 10 Eur. I really hope it will work for another couple of decades.

Nice watch and all, but how can you endure the time difference between both?! How do you know what the real time is. I would go mad!

Simply, most of the time I have set it to date.
Also I don't trust any of my watches too much, because I mostly wear my vintage Omega. And while it looks incredible, there is no guarantee it stopped during the night and shows completely wrong time.

Not bad, only 100,505 miles on her ?

Think I had this watch as a kid in the 70’s. This image triggered a fear response from getting my arm hairs plucked out by the band so I think it must be true

That’s not mid 70s. Its from the 80s.

Nice, hope the LCDs on my watches last that long.... Usually they start to fail

The LCD display is much more sensible than what we often get today : the figures are easy to read, thanks to a nice ratio between height and width and a thin line. Also, the seconds are smaller.
Many contemporary LCD displays are offensively ugly and difficult to read : with exceedingly narrow figures, thick lines and very obvious gaps between sections.
I'm thinking of some measuring instruments (not cheap items, either).

That LCD display was everything at the time. It's hard to overstate how cool it was.
