Translator Watch (Piratron, Omni, Tragalfar)

[zomtec2000]

I have found this "Beauty"!
It fully works and has minor scratches. Almost not worn, but not NOS.

The Translation works like this (English<->German):
1st You need to switch it on (yeah!!!)
2nd You can select (also a swich the direction of translation)
3rd You can set the first 2 letters and then you need to select the word. Could take a while
On the "dashboard" on the left you have these 2 buttons: You can select the first 2 letters with these 2 buttons.
4th: Use the arrows on the right to change the words
5th: Press Translate and.... Voila: englisch for "Hackbraten"
If the word consists of more than 8 letters you can use the bigger blue arrow to read the 2nd or 3rd part of the word.

The watch itself has only following functions: time, date, time without seconds but with date (day)

2 questions for you:
Does anyone know such a watch or does anyone own such a model?
There are almost none information on the net regarding any translator wrist watches; so your ideas, links or comments are welcome.

Interesting fact:
The watch runs on 4,5V (!!!), so I had to give her 3 x 391s; all serial connected.
Housing is a kind of metal die cast.
Don`t know how long these batteries will last. But I´ll give it try.

Have a nice evening

Nice small review cause I also had no idea how these one works. I'm always interested if you want to sell it.

Hi Casper,

To be honest,
yes, I had read your button remake just before I have written my post.
The 3 brand names I`got are from Old Tom (reply to your post).
But that is all I had found in the whole Google-Interweb...

So every comment, link or photo is welcome.

Hi, sorry to use your topic but I have the same watch, Piratron quartz translator watch. Was given to me recently and i Had no idea what it was . Searching on Google found very little, and obviously found 2 topics here about it and already know how it works, thank you!!

However I still have to get new batteries but I believe it does work and it is in quite a good shape, don't think it was much used.

Anyone has more information about it? Any idea from what years, roughly, it might be?

And of course some pictures, everyone likes pictures







Thank you in advance for any help!
