Abstract
An analog type electronic watch having a step motor to drive hands has a movement indicator other than hands. The movement indicator has a magnet member and is driven with the magnetic influence of a rotor magnet of the step motor. The magnet member is arranged within a window provided in a dial plate of the watch within the range of the magnetic force of the rotor. The movement indicator is supported so as to be synchronously moved with the rotation of the rotor under the magnetic influence.
Claims8
An analog type electronic watch for indicating the time by driving a gear train by means of a step motor including a rotor which exhibits a magnetic force, a stator and a coil block;
- said watch comprising:
- a dial plate having a window portion within the range of influence of the magnetic force of said rotor,
- a magnetic member arranged within said window portion so as to be synchronously moved by the magnetic force in accordance with the rotation of said rotor for acting as movement indicator, and
- supporting means for supporting said magnetic member.
An analog type electronic watch as claimed in claim I, wherein said magnetic member has a shape of a plate.
