RCW Radio Controlled Watch

Today's watch is a hard one to find anything about as the model name is the abbreviation used for its main feature.

The watch seems to be by/called RCW, but there is no record of them as a manufacturer. It is a Japanese radio controlled watch which works on the Japan Standard Time Frequency.

It has a dual colour LCD display with red and black text. The main time display is across the centre and has a pseudo dot matrix look - the numbers are made up of small blocks, but the blocks are only in the layout of a normal figure 8 pattern digit. Along the bottom are another 5 1/2 digits for date and seconds (or time during the other functions). The top red LCD part is a dot matrix array (3 groups of 5x6) for the day, or mode description.

The watch has a standard set of stopwatch, alarm, timer, and dual time functions, and is a rugged looking model.
On the back,  it mentions the watch is 10 bar water resistant and gives the model number as FI-22064.
