LED Digital Wristwatches

In
1971 we were living in the space age and the arrival of this watch confirmed
that we were well entrenched in the digital age of consumer computer ware.
With watch production reaching new heights, and re editions being made of
the classic 50’s and 60’s watches, there is a yearning for remakes of the
1970’s watches that came to market by the mass produced millions and took the
market by storm. The LED Watches were introduced in 1971, but as many trends
change, they were virtually replaced over night by the LCD digital watches.
The difference being the LED watches you had to press a button to display
the time in red lights. With LCD
watches, the time was permanently on display in grey digital numerals.
The original LED watches are all but gone now, but thanks to the
innovations of Connect, the LED watches are back with us again.
They are designed in the tradition 1970’s fashion, use the same
technology, but made with modern materials and circuitry, and taking inflation
into account, cost no less tan they did in 1970!
The net result here is that the watch is reliable, accurate, long
lasting, cost effective but looks the absolutely authentic 1970’s cult classic
LED watch. This is a remarkable achievement by anybody’s standards.
If you can remember the 1970’s this style of LED watch will be as long
lasting in your memory as Detroit built V8 muscle cars, skateboards, Starskie
and Hutch, Hang Ten flip flops, Afro perms on men, yo-yo’s, and the whole
Saturday Night fever Bee Gees and John Travolta disco scene.
