The 43502 Westclox Eclipse Quartz Electric Alarm Clock, in Black, has a modern quartz movement powered by ac cord, and sports a sleek rounded shape that's easy to grab onto. The Westclox Eclipse has a patented battery recharging circuit that keeps the clock ready for power outages, and features a continuously low lit dial for easy viewing in dim conditions. 

The Westclox Eclipse is intended for placement on a flat surface such as a nightstand, dresser, or shelf. The movement in the Eclipse alarm clock is an analog quartz movement, thus it has silent operation. Because the Eclipse is ac powered, its clock dial stays constantly lit. You don't have to fumble around in the dark trying to press a button and light a time display that stays lit for only a few seconds. The light is very dim so it won't be a distraction for sleeping.  The alarm has a pleasant beeping sound in an ascending pattern. Pressing the snooze button located on top of the clock will silence the alarm for about four minutes and then the alarm will sound again. The snooze function can be repeated up to eight times in a 40 minute period. As long as the alarm switch is set so the bell indicator is red, the alarm will sound again in 12 hours at the set time. Sliding the alarm switch down will disable the alarm feature.

For powering, the Eclipse alarm clock requires ac power. To guard against power outages, as a backup, the 43502 has a patented battery recharging circuit and takes one AA(1.2V) rechargeable NiCad battery, which is included.

With its easy setup and quiet operation, the Westclox Eclipse is an alarm clock that almost anyone can use and appreciate. And with a modest price tag, it's an excellent value. Naturally, the Eclipse alarm clock makes a practical, affordable, gift item.
