[Hallicrafters] OT Atomic Watch

[manualman at juno.com]

Some Atomic Watches are solar powered and some run on a battery.
Generally, unless you live your life in a metal box all the time, the WWV
time signal will get to your watch at least once a day or more, to keep
the watch calibrated with accurate time, especially when micro seconds
are important to you. Those last 10 seconds of bidding time can be very
important.
