Men's Atomic Watches

If you are ready for a outstanding timepiece check out then it’s time to choose from a variety of men’s atomic watches. These time pieces are essential because they are very accurate, fashionable and have extended durability. These watches allow everyone a little piece of happiness. If you love science and unique items you will be challenged by the technology used to create these watches, the artist will love some of the unique designs offered, and the ordinary man would love them because they are simple and no worry to maintain.

If your man is the rough and rugged type, you might look for a more durable solar and atomic watch. You might want to consider the Casio Men’s G-Shock Atomic Tough Solar Watch #GW330A-9V. This is a tough watch is not only sharp looking, but very affordable. Take this watch to depths of 200 meters, a battery life of twenty to thirty years. The watch is made of rubber and resin for the band, and stainless steel for the body. The best thing about all men’s atomic watches is that they are self adjusting. Never need to change the time on your watch again.

If you are looking for a more formal watch for your guy check out Oceanus Men’s Atomic Titanium Watch #OCW500TDA-1AV. This sophisticated watch is on the cutting edge. This watch is atomic, solar powered and has analog-quartz movement. This men’s atomic watch is perfect for anyone who travels internationally. Offering 29 time zones and dual alarms you guy will always be on time no matter which continent he is doing business.

You can find them in many different styles, that you like sport, casual or even elegant. Several merchants offer a wide variety of atomic watches depending on the style you want and the price you are willing to pay. You do not need to purchase the most expensive men’s atomic watch in order to have a great timepiece.

Visit the website of Casio and you will have many different atomic watch choices. They offer a wide variety at affordable prices. You can also check Stauer website, their watches are very elegant even though the price is a little higher but their products are very high quality. There are many other brands such as Lacrosse, Invicta, and Maximilian.

Professor Isidor Rabi from Columbia University, Physics Department, in 1945, discovered the technology. Only in 1949 did NIST use his discovery to create the first atomic watch. As the name says it all, atomic watches function based on the principle of an atom. An atom consists of a nucleus surrounded by electrons. As the electrons gravitate around the nuclei, they oscillate with a certain frequency.

The oscillation frequency is what allows keeping track of time. This frequency will depend on the mass of the nucleus, which is why there are different types of atomic watches: Cesium atomic watches, Hydrogen atomic watches and Rubidium atomic watches. These oscillations frequencies, when correlated to the oscillation frequency of Cesium allow keeping track of time.

The resonance frequency of Cesium is very well known. The most common type of atomic watches is Cesium based and has a high accuracy with an error of one second per million years. Hydrogen atomic clock offer about 10 times Cesium accuracy, but they are not as widespread.

This principle governs so many aspects of our lives that we tend to forget about it. Without atomic watch, GPS technology would not have emerged. Furthermore think about the Internet and the whole synchronization process behind it; it is possible because of atomic watches.
