Watch with additional features
Many fans watch enough to buy them just to work properly . However, no one in their right mind would give up the extra features that can greatly simplify the life of a man . Functional content of watches - this is something that does not forget any manufacturer . In fact, besides the real benefit from additional features such innovations caused great interest among buyers.
And let these functions are not in demand , but the very fact of their presence will lead to the fact that people will buy the watch and will wear them with pride. Modern wristwatch can contain a huge number of complications and functions. A buyer just need to decide which features will be present in his wristwatch.
Perhaps the most important additional feature is the lighting , the usefulness of which is difficult to overestimate. Speaking of quartz watches , here uses LED , back light or lights on semiconductor technology . It is activated by simply pressing a button that gives rise to the effect of light of various colors . With the help of illumination you might consider reading the dial in the dark. As a rule, in the light of modern clock is green or yellow , but other options are possible .
Light can burn as much as you hold the button. But some manufacturers are programmed lighting in their wristwatches for some time. That is, pressing the button again , the backlight will be on , for example , five seconds. This option is more convenient than the first, because it is always possible to hold the button .
Backlight sometimes inserted in the mechanical clock , the truth is it can only be fluorescent . The numbers and arrows dial cover special photoluminescent compound that is charged by the bright light. In the dark, this light will shine a cold light . It is worth noting that, over time photoluminescent lighting becomes weaker . If you wear the watch in the sleeve and the composition is not charged in the sun , in the dark you will not see the evidence.
However, despite this shortcoming , fluorescent lighting is used in many popular hours , including Japan Casio. There is also a radioluminescent lighting, which is more functional. For its manufacturing structure , including radioactive substances , glowing in the dark, alone , with no additional charge. Do not worry for the health . Body and glass wrist watch fully absorb the emitted radiation. Just do not buy watches radioluminescent illumination from unknown manufacturers. Make sure that the clock is marking T-Swiss-T, guaranteeing complete security rights.
alarm clock
Another added feature popular watches is the alarm clock. Most often it is used in quartz watches , to build an alarm clock in which you can without too much trouble . But with the mechanical clock, the situation is much more complicated. After a miniature mechanism is quite difficult to build in perfect mechanical order . In addition , the case of mechanical watches with alarm should be zvukopronitsaemym .
All this leads to that the mechanical watches, equipped with alarm clock, are much more expensive than conventional mechanical watches . Alarm clock in the factory with a special crown placed above the standard head for the plant. The factory alarm is done by pulling the head, scroll to the desired position and return to the original state.
calendar
As you know , to build an alarm clock in a mechanical watch is problematic. Instead, it usually embedded calendar function . In addition to the usual mechanical watch calendar can be used so-called perpetual calendar that can be traced by the hour Orient Multi-year Calendar 2EU00002K. Calendar - a complex mechanism. Print dates in a special box , which is located on the dial , is due to the precise synchronization mechanism , which requires that the masters of hard work.
Simple Calendar hours are inaccurate . At the end of the month calendars are adjusted manually. The date can be replaced not only by means of wheels, but the discs with graduation , or a little extra dial with arrows that indicate the day and month . Quartz watch in this regard are simpler and more reliable. You just press a few buttons on the digital display to display the date . No discs , no wheels , no extra dials. Only pure electronics .
chronograph
Chronograph - this is an additional feature that will especially enjoy the sports people. In general, a chronograph wristwatch called the two- time systems, which in the process are independent of each other. The first system may be currently displayed , and the second system can be measured in time intervals. If your wrist watch displays time using the arrows , you can always run a second or minute counter , press the stop, pause , update. In this work the first few hours will go without hesitation.
Turnout chronograph generally contain as additional counter dial. And in some hours of the indicator is the semi-circular scale and smoothly move the arrow . It looks very impressive , but the convenience of this method can display still debatable. So if you frequently use the chronograph is better to choose the first option. Again, quartz watch equipped with a digital display system , chronograph and stopwatch build is much easier than in a mechanical watch . But the more stylish and prestigious will still look exactly the mechanical clock.
Power reserve
Another , not less useful function is the power reserve indicator , which simply required for holders of mechanical watches. For owners of the quartz clock, this feature is desirable. Thus , the mechanical clock on the dial may contain specially marked- scale with a single arrow that will show the time remaining until a full stop watch. Speaking of quartz watches , there is an arrow or indicator will show how many hours are left until the battery is fully discharged . Quartz watches power reserve indicator can be submitted by the arrows , and the indicator on the digital display , which can appear as an icon or as the hour indicator .
other features
As you can imagine , this is not all of the functions of watches . For example, for those who like to travel may be useful function of the second time zone. Here we can talk about how the two dials and a digital display on the electronic screen . Move from one time to another in the second case, we propose using the buttons and dials the second eyeliner done by rotating the second crown.
As an add-in to the chronograph can be used tachometer , with which you will be able to track your average speed . Just count the seconds chronograph with a time interval and the second hand will show you the tachymeter scale on the corresponding digital value . To some it may seem a useful feature of the lunar calendar , which is located in a special box with a dial . On the dial recorded 29 lunar day , and the arrow will point to the day those that correspond to the present state of the moon. This function is usually adds hours to the person and mystery, but it's unlikely you 'll use it in the garden for planting vegetables.
