This is a radio-controlled watch with Multi-Band 5 functionality, compatible with standard radio waves from five stations worldwide. It comes equipped with convenient features like world time and alarm functions, making it useful for business settings. The watch case features a stainless steel cover that combines both hairline and mirror finishes, enhancing its overall quality and feel.
A500WA is another retro alternative, minus wave reception but more old-school than the Royale
