🔴🌕 Vintage portable radio watch from Arrow (model 350), dating back to the 1960s, with a classic design housed in a black leather-like case.
🌕🔴 History and Era
• Production Period: This device dates back to the mid-1960s (around 1965).
• "Travel Companion" Concept: Specifically designed as a portable device for travelers. In that era (decades before smartphones), this innovation allowed travelers to set an alarm, follow the news, and tune into surrounding radio stations on the go.
🔴🌕 • Transistor Radio (Solid State): The radio utilizes semiconductor or solid-state technology. This was a significant technological leap, replacing bulky vacuum tubes, allowing for a small, lightweight radio that turned on instantly without needing to warm up tubes and broadcasted on AM waves.
• Mechanical Clock: Unlike modern devices, the clock is completely independent of the radio. It's a traditional mechanical clock that operates on a manual winding system (spring or manual winding with 0 jewels), meaning the clock will work even if the radio's battery runs out.
🌕🔴 Exterior Design: It comes integrated within a protective case made of leather (or a black crocodile-like material) that opens and closes like a wallet to protect the clock face and the speaker's metal grille while on the move.
