Abstract
A pointer electronic timepiece ( ) has a plurality of step motors, a plurality of pointers ( to ), and a plurality of external operation members of a winding crown ( ) and buttons ( ). The pointer to be adjusted is selected from the plurality of pointers ( to ) by operating one of the buttons ( ) while drawing out the winding crown ( ) to a second stage and the other button ( ) is operated to adjust the position of the selected pointer. Since the position of the pointers ( to ) driven by three step motors can be adjusted by the two buttons ( ), the number of the external operation member is not necessary to be increased even when the pointers ( to ), i.e. the step motors, are increased, so that the size and thickness of a movement-holder and cost thereof can be reduced and operability during adjustment can be improved.
