Solid pine wooden case with a warm brown cherry finish. The polished gold-finished bezel holds a convex glass lens that protects the dial. Two separate movements come with this clock. The main is updated every day by Station WWVB that sends out the time from the National Atomic clock located in Colorado. The lower LCD panel is an accurate quartz movement that allows independent setting for another time zone or military time (24 hour). In addition, a choice can be made to use the LCD window as an information center showing the month/day/date and indoor temperature if desired. Uses (1) AA battery for clock, and (1) AAA for info center (not included)
