Wristwatches are no longer just that, watches. With the development in watchmaking, timepieces have evolved into mini gadgets on your wrist that perform various functions from unlocking your car to even controlling a gun! The technologically advanced and hi-tech timepieces have helped many folks. With the release of the Reconvilier Hercules Golf Master timepiece, the golfing community is all set to benefit from the union of watchmaking and technology. Besides displaying the time, this rotating timepiece flips over to show digital measurements of the distance to the front edge or center of the green courtesy, GPS technology. The watch uses a base station, “Caddie” k,ept on your bag to obtain golf course data before the start of the game. Of course, the data is automatically transmitted from the Caddie to the watch giving distances in meters or yards. The digital display also shows regular time.
When “tee” time is over, you can use the “Rotax” mechanism to remove the watch’s face and flip it 180° to reveal the classic round analog design. Powered by an automatic ETA 2892A movement (COSC-certified chronometer, Integrated digital module for LCD), this watch measures 45mm and is water-resistant up to 50m.
The case is available in either steel or titanium, while the dial is available in white, black, or grey. The strap is black or white rubber with a steel or titanium folding clasp.
