About ten years ago, I bought two titanium Wittnauers with 20-year
batteries, one for me (with a metal band), and one for my wife (with a
black leather strap). I paid about $400 each for them, and they are
beautiful designs, and have acquired a great deal of sentimental value
for us both. As they get closer and closer to 20 years of service, I
can't help but wonder if replacements for the proprietary batteries are
going to be available. They are an interesting design,really; the
battery is derived from batteries used in heart pacemakers, and is
integrated into what appears to be a press-on back for the case. Anyone
know about these watches and the availability of service for them? They
do come up on e bay from time to time, but I don't think they are being
made anymore, more's the pity.
