Osaka-based Eikowatch [JP] is selling a watch with a small built-in flashlight enabling users to transmit messages in Morse code. The “Sector Compass Torch” quartz watch is unfortunately Japan-only and has an MSRP of $620.

The flashlight is attached to the lower right of the watch and can be activated at the push of a button. To make things sure, Eikowatch listed the entire international Morse code on the dial.

The watch is made of PVD-covered stainless steel, water-resistant to a depth of 50 meters, 48mm in diameter and available in black or silver.
