Atomic clock movements are accurate to 1 billionth of a second. Both quartz movements contain a miniaturized radio receiver that monitors a low frequency time signal that broadcasts from Fort Collins, Colorado. The atomic radio signal enables the movement to self-correct every day (up to 5 times per day) so it always shows the exact time according to the national time standard. The movement is capable of running traditional hands and is equipped with a special antenna designed for increased reception sensitivity. The second hand moves in a step motion. Due to its radio signal, this movement cannot be used with metal dials.
