For Your Safety: A Message to All Buyers
- New Seller Notice: If a seller is new to the Collectors Market with less than 200 posts. While everyone starts somewhere, we strongly recommend using a secure payment method like PayPal Goods & Services or a credit card for purchases for buyer protection.
- Critical Security Alert: Established accounts can be compromised. Always request a custom timestamp (a photo of the watch with a note of your choosing) from any seller, regardless of their transaction history. For the highest security, a live video call is the best way to confirm the seller physically has the watch.
If a seller refuses these basic checks or you see any red flags, stop the transaction immediately.
Remember: A real seller with a genuine watch has nothing to hide and will understand your need for caution.
The Synchronar 2100 is the World's first solar powered watch.
Up for sale here is a genuine Stainless Steel Synchronar 2100 MK III Circa 1977.This is the real McCoy Original Brand solar powered watch.It features extreme accuracy that is easily settable to +- 8 seconds a year.The Synchronar is unique in many fielods of Horolgy.
Since 1972 the Synchronar was and STILL IS a technological masterpiece in the field of horolgy.For over 12 years it was the ONLY! watch to have a smart calendar programmed for correct date keeping till the year 2100.This 1977 MK III has the digital freaquency synthesizer that displays a digital speed calibration #. The user can change the digital # by one increment to run faster or slower in steps of 16 seconds a year, which enables accuracy to the tune of 8 seconds a year.No tools or opening the watch are required like all other quartz watches .There are also no seals to ever wear out as it is permenantly sealed and filled with Silicone Gel that protects against internal corrosion and shock resistance.This unique potting process also makes the watch very waterproof as their is NO AIR inside.
Now here is the kicker and one more reason this watch belongs in a Mueseum
THIS WATCH IN STAINLESS STEEL IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION HAVING NEVER BEEN OPENED AND YES RIPLEY THE ORIGINAL 33+YEAR OLD BATTERIES ARE STILL IN THEIR AND DO TAKE A CHARGE.The watch was manufactured in USA at Riehl Time Corp,Whippany New Jersey.This was the year the inventor took over operations from Ragen Semiconductor who produced the custom IC from 1972-76 and marketed the watch from 1974-1976.
THERE SINPLY IS NO OTHER BRAND OF SOLAR POWERED WATCH OR BATTERY POWERED WATCH THAT HAS LIVED THIS LONG WITH NO SERVICE REQUIRED. THE ONLY THING THIS WATCH NEEDS FOR SERVICE IS SOME SUNSHINE OR HOUSEHOLD BULB TO RECHARGE PERIODICALLY.
A UNIQUE SLIDER MAGNET SWITCH DISPLAYS TIME//DATE/WEEKDAY/SECONDS/SPEED #
The band is NOS Duchess Hadley.Along with historical papers this watch comes with original presentation inner outer box.
There is loads of info and photos on the net about this watch including the later MK IV from 1981 and the MK I ,Mk II made prior to this one for sale.Unfortunatly much of the info is conjecture and even some slandourous derogatory info from an un official watch forum.
Serious inquiries only please.There would be a $60 shipping fee to cover proper insurance on the package. The final price is $3,000 + $60.00=$3,060
Got questions? I got the answers as one of the inventors sons.
