ChN-03 FIVE Daily Alarms

The ChN-03 cataloged on this blog here is one of the final generation of the famous Electronika digital watches of the old USSR.

For an old-school type watch it is quite advanced.

It has a large display with two full lines of information, various other features, including an automatic timekeeping adjustment, but specifically the ChN-03 version has FIVE daily alarms as I show in the below video which is in Russian but I mainly show the alarm tunes that it can play.

And I also carried out a battery replacement job on it myself.

Just open the back which is easy to do by prying it open gently.

You don't have to unscrew the large plate just remove the little battery compartment thing holding the button in place. 

Be careful, it's very jumpy.

New battery installed, it's 392, I think, cover it back which is a pain but can be done ultimately.

 

Finished.

Integral ChN-03 Electronic Watch

Here comes an INTEGRAL ChN-03/1.9, an old-school electronic watch from my collection, made by the Kamerton Factory located in a town called Pinsk in Belarus.

 

This one was manufactured as far back as in 2002. Of all the ChH-0Xs, the ChN-03 is the rarest. I have seen it in the flesh only once -- when I was buying it.

Maybe, it is not much to look at and has a usual array of features: normal time mode - seconds, minutes, hours, calendar - month, day, date, year; stopwatch; backlight; 12/24 time display mode; hourly signal, automatic correction; automatic winter-summer time change (can be turned off); and some basic melodies.

Special feature: five (!) daily alarms, independent of one another.
