You’ll never be late again with seiko atomic clocks (unless you want to)...

seiko atomic clocks > Find clocks, from an atomic to zen clock


With seiko atomic clocks you have the dual benefits of a trusted seiko clock brand and the exact time precision of the atomic clock rolled into a must have time piece.

You will find reviews of two seiko atomic clocks and more... on this website for your perusal:

  • If you are a frequent International traveller - then you are going to love this - seiko's first travel global atomic clock! known as the seiko global sync radio controlled atomic travel alarm - it's pitched as the most perfect travel alarm, because of it's dual time global sync facility. You'll be able to view atomic time, not only in the USA but also as you travel from atomic clocks located in: UK, Europe (near Frankfurt), and Kyusha Island in Japan, which also reaches Korea.

    All you have to do is just choose the local area, and the clock reads the updated signals every day, keeping it accurate to an amazing one second in a million years. The Global Sync measures just (2 5/8" x 1½" x 3 5/8"), which makes it ideal to slip in your pocket or brief case or hand bag. The base serves as a twist-and-stand for a night table with soft glow backlighting.

Some people say the most advanced and most precise way to tell time is using Seiko's futuristic "Get Up & Glow" atomic alarm clock! It's described as a futuristic metallic slice of an alarm clock — and it's just 5½ inches high.

  • Ideal for bedside or travel use. Features an easy to press button which lights up the calendar and time. This radio-controlled seiko atomic clock works wherever you are in Continental USA, and will pick up the powerful signal transmitted by the U.S. Atomic Clock in Fort Collins, Colorado. seiko atomic clocks are self-adjusting even for daylight savings time. Its alarm has a snooze and comes with two “AA” batteries included.

Everywhere People Are Raving About Atomic Clocks ...But What Are They?

The truth is (and I wish to clear this confusion up for you, once and for all) - an atomic clock has an atomic oscillator inside (such as a cesium or rubidium oscillator, I will tell you a bit more about the amazing atomic clocks in a minute).

On the other hand, a radio-controlled clock has a radio inside, which receives a signal that comes from a place where an atomic clock is located.

 

In the US the radio signal is transmitted by the famous radio station wwvb, operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST, based in Fort Collins, Colorado.

This radio station is unlike your ordinary radio station, because it's well known for it's accurate time synchronization services for clocks, computers and electronic gadgets via it's radio transmitters, using cesium atomic clocks.

Another reason why wwvb is an extraordinary radio station, is because unlike your local AM radio station that has a frequency of 1,000,000 Hz to broadcast compared to the very low 60,000 Hz frequency of wwvb - which is a testiment to it's highly efficient antenna. Plus a mega 50,000 watts transmitter power. The result is a lethal bounce of radio waves capable of a very wide North and Central America coverage, especially USA & Canada.

You can listen to the audio version of wwvb and wwvh broadcasts by the telephone which are for announcement of time. Also a (BCD) binary coded decimal timecode is broadcast on a 100 Hz subcarrier. geophysical alerts and (GPS) global positioning system status reports, are also announced.

The British version is the (NPL) National Physical Laboratory's msf atomic clock, using a 60,000 Hz frequency from the British Telecom transmitter based at Rugby in England and providing time codes for the BT Speaking Time clock, British Rail Clocks and all the digital atomic clocks in the British Isles

Atomic clocks burst into the clock world three decades after quartz technology had revolutionalised the clock industry. The cesium atom's natural frequency was formally recognized as the new international unit of time in 1967:

This led to the timekeeping performance of quartz clocks been substantially surpassed by atomic clocks.

How is this possible? Simple, atoms make up a potential "pendulum" which has a reproducible rate that sets the standard and it is transmitted via microwave and satellite technology for much better accurate clocks.

This led to the creation in 1972 of the International (UTC) Universal Time Co-ordinating Center

Today the Atomic Clock Systems from over 25 countries World-Wide and the USA, feed continous data to the UTC.

In the US, Radio signals beamed from the National Institute of Standards (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado are received by Atomic clocks sold in the USA.

When the atomic clock is set once, it functions within the four time zones of the continental United States only, which will keep your atomic clock accurate to within a second over a million years. Never will you have to reset your atomic clock again, even for daylight-savings time, it's all done for you automatically.

Although, today different Clock manufacturers have produced many types of Atomic Clocks the atomic principles behind them are very similar.

There are now three main types of atoms for atomic clocks;

  1. cesium atoms using different levels of energy in a field of magnets.
  2. hydrogen atoms using a special walled container to retain the high state of energy.
  3. rubidium gas absorbs light, at optical frequency involving the right surrounding microwave frequency,

The most accurate and precise atomic clocks manufactured today use the cesium atom technology.

Due to the maintenance free and perfect time precision of the atomic clocks, they are in our books the ultimate clocks or clock to have in this day and age.
