Seiko-Epson and German Junghans developed solar-charged radio-controlled analog watch that works in Japan, Europe and in the United States.

The new radio-controlled watch movement developed jointly with Junghans is capable of receiving radio signals transmitted from Frankfurt, Germany, Colorado, U.S.A., and Fukushima and Kyushu in Japan.

Seiko plans to put a radio-controlled watch model installed with this newly developed movement on the domestic Japanese market in September 2005.
