The history of wrist electronic hours "Electronics" began in 1973 on the Minsk NGO "Integral". The first wrist watch model produced there was called "Sekunda".

The first liquid crystal displays were very short-lived, and most importantly did not have a backlight. Therefore, on the "integral", the wristwatches on LED LED LEDs began to do. True, they also had their minus - they quickly sat down.

At the same time, absolutely all electronic watches of that era had one big problem - an error in time calculations. Watches of absolutely all manufacturers every day more and more or lagged behind, or in a hurry. In the Soviet "Electronics" the problem was solved in a rather exotic way. The designers have added an adjustment function. When a citizen after a few days saw how fast or slow the clock was, he should have started one function of the digital stroke setting and using the other two buttons to enter a value from minus 6.4 to plus 6.4 seconds. At the same time, the setting step was 0.05 seconds. The use of the TsNKH made it possible to correct the error of the rate so that over the next year the clock lost only 1.8 seconds.
