I bought this instead.




Cool!

Hey that looks kinda cool, who is the manufacturer??

Is that a star map of our whole constellation??

Anyways, congratulations on your purchase, wear it in the best of health.

That's a Citizen Astrodea

??????????????

Quartz with a movement that is similar to the astronomical display Campanola. There are two versions for the Northern and Southern hemispheres respectively. Ronald's model is the 2006 version with the integrated bracelet, the 2007 model has a different case (shown above), although the movement and display remains the same.

Congrats Ronald! I ordered one of my own last month via friend in Japan thought it has yet to arrive.

i love the detail on the dial, just my kind of thing, unfortunately it seems it is

only any good for 'true' accuracy if you live in Japan on the 35th degree. i'd love to have it on my wrist, but in UK all the calculations would be incorrect.

or would they?? if anyone can clarify i'd appreciate it.

cheers

Graham, how accurate do you need it to be(not being facious)?

Ron, i dont know really,...

Ron, i dont know really, i'd just like to have the
stars and constellations in the correct position for where we live.

Marcus has done a previous thread on the campanola
cosmosign and made the point that some of the stars visible on the 35th degree
arent visible on the 50th degree(europe).

also will it show the correct sunrise/sunset times,
solar position, equinox indications etc for europe if its designed for
Japan.

 
i'm only asking as it interests me and if
everything will be correct except for the stars i might buy one, but if they
will be out of synch with where i live then i wont.

i hope you see my point, it needs to be mostly
functional.

Do we need a satelite watch for this reason?

Hi there,

Been following closely the acurasy of the star and orbital of the universe.

What i was thinking,if we have a watch that is GPS aligned and via satellite detecting our exact earth location and send us back the trasnmission  via satelite again back to our watch to determind the acuracy of the calculation of our universe in orbit.What do you think of this?LOLOL....

Just some sily crazy thoughts here.

Graham, you could adjust for the longotude....

But not for the latitude. I would jhave to do some calculations to see how far off.

Campanola Europe version

HI Folks,

I've got the Campanola in an edition for Europe.  I'll have to check the dial to see the Latitude its based on,

Campanola europe edition

 
 By: 41northpole : April 28th, 2008-04:01

Hi Folks,

 

I have this version of the Campanola,

 

 

The star map is set for 50 degree North, so works fine for My neck of the woods

At least it shows that the map fiald is available for latitudes other than Japan,

 

Cheers,
