Check peoples reactions when they see your authentic 70s style LED watch! They are super cool real 70's icon that will be a collectors piece again and again. The first LED digital watches were introduced in 1971 under the Pulsar brand, and by 1973 they had taken the world by storm. After appearing in the James Bond Movie 'Live and Let Die' many more manufacturers produced LED watches until they became as recognisable as the lava lamp. Millions of LED watches were sold - but then with the introduction of Seiko's LCD watch in 1979, LED almost became extinct overnight, rarely to ever return since the 70's. Now that the high volume manufacturing process for LED watches no longer exists they have become more and more difficult and expensive to produce. The production of these authentic reproduction LED watches involves careful and dedicated work. The result is a great combination of absolutely authentic 70s LED watch look and feel with the reliability and long life of highly accurate modern electronics. This newly manufactured LED watch module offers greatly improved battery life compared to vintage models, in normal use batteries last approx 12 months and are easy to replace. The solid and chunky square faced models with scratch resistant face are suitable for most sized adult male or female wrists, the adjustable metal bracelet is shiny sliver coloured chrome plated and stainless steel, the body is crafted from premium grade solid chrome plated metal. The TX4 LED Watch represents the cutting edge of authentic retro timepieces designed to offer many years of reliable service.
