Electronika 5 29367 Electronic Watch

Another Electronika 5 29367 watch from my collection though this time not as Leader 10.

Electronikas are electronic -- or digital -- watches made in the USSR in 1970s-80s and then in the Republic of Belarus until about 2009. In essence, they are old-school electronic watches, although some are more advanced than others though they never go into Casio's territory for better or for worse. But some models have features that even Casio has never had (I think) such as both automatic and manual accuracy correction. 

This watch is my Electronika 5 29367 made in 2000. Bought much later as a NOS specimen. Still working fine. The Electronika 5 29367 is probably the longest produced model -- from the 1980s right up to 2009. Photos are clickable. 

And as luck would have it, it is time to replace the battery (and look at the innards). 

The bracelet is made by the Vitebsk Instrument Making Plant.

It has the picture of a horse on the face -- perfect for the Year of the Horse.

As to detailed specs and watch controls you can find them in the manual (see below) in Russian.

Here I would like to note only two interesting features. First, you can turn the display off by pressing and holding for 2 sec button one (upper right). When the display is turned off, data are preserved and the watch continues to keep time and all functions continue to work. Second, there is an easy and convenient way to turn on the hourly signal (or chime) simply by pressing button 3 (lower left). 

The back can be easily removed by prying it open gently. 

Under it, there is another flat back which functions as a resonator, remove it too.

With the old battery.

Unscrew and remove the contact "leaf" holding the battery in its compartment.

The old battery is removed.

And a new one is inserted.

I am using some Chinese battery -- for lack of any other. But it's not too bad. The battery replaced on May 8, 2014. 

The battery size is 392А aka LR41, 392, G3 or 192.

The contact leaf has a small pip on the round thing which must be inserted in a special opening so as to hold the battery snugly, then screw it on at the other end.

Place the first cover on and then snap the back on.

This kind of reading indicates the watch is in need of a reset which is achieved by pressing simultaneously buttons 1-2-3.  

The zero is flashing (before reset).

Indication after reset -- you can now set the time.
 

The time is set.
