Recommendation needed: radio atomic clock for watch box

I'm getting a new watch box and decided to move where I store them to a closet with a pullout drawer. Previously I had placed my box in a room where there's a wall clock that's radio controlled atomic accurate to the second. I use that to set my Rolex and Omegas, but it's rather big. Anyway this room I'm now using has no clock like that, but instead I wanted to find something small that would fit in the closet itself. Any recommendation here? I suppose I could put one of my solar radio atomic watch in there, but I'd like something a bit bigger, like 4 to 5 inches would be the perfect size.

Can you not use time.is on your phone? Gives a 6 inch clock bang on to the second in whatever room you’re in!

You could get a G-Shock. That’s what I use to set my watches. I’m sure you have a phone too. There are apps you can download that will do the job too.

I'd say the watch that is probably always with you is the easiest way. I use the clocks app on my Apple.

I have had this for a few years now - it seems exactly what the OP wants, about 31/2” x 5” and radio controlled
