Electronic timepiece with internal antenna

An electronic timepiece comprising:

• a cylindrical outside case of which at least part is made from a non-conductive material;
• a time display unit that displays time inside the outside case;
• a drive unit that drives the time display unit inside the outside case;
• an antenna that receives signals from positioning information satellites, is disposed around the drive unit inside the outside case, and includes an annular dielectric base and an annular antenna element in contact with the dielectric base;
• a crystal covering one of the two openings in the outside case;
• a metal back cover covering the other of the two openings on the opposite side of the time display unit as the display side;
• and
• a circuit board that is housed inside the outside case and includes a radio communication circuit for radio communication;
• wherein the antenna is disposed on the crystal side of the circuit board, and the radio communication circuit is disposed on the back cover side of the circuit board.
