Looking to exchange (for a rare Seiko LC) or sell this TI Starburst. Fully working and in excellent condition. Original box and outer case.
A stunning piece!
This watch also has the unique feature of having 7 different timekeeping functions are at your fingertips:
Normal Display = Hours & Minutes
Minutes : Seconds
Day / Date
Alternate Time Zone
Stopwatch Mode # 1 = Hour Minute
Stopwatch Mode # 2 = Minute / Second
Stopwatch Mode # 3 = Seconds / Tenths
A fine example of a first totally electronic quartz LCD analog. The combination of several technology firsts made the watch design practical.
Among the technology firsts for this watch were: 1) Use of low voltage liquid crystal material for multiplexed LCD watches displays. 2) Use of a lithium-manganese dioxide cell for watch LCD's. 3) Use of an I2L chip to drive watch LCD's. 4) Use of only 26 contacts for 120 display elements using two-way multiplexing. The watch design, called "Starburst," was manufactured until 1981 when TI closed out all watch activity.
