Claim:
An electronic timepiece that receives radio frequency signals and displays information, comprising: a dial on a front of the electronic timepiece and on which time is displayed, the dial having surface defining a plane; a flat antenna that is disposed on a back side of the dial in a vertical direction perpendicular to the dial, extends in a direction parallel to the plane (“plane direction”) of the dial, and receives the radio frequency signals passing through the dial; a metal case that has a wall defining a space in which the dial and the flat antenna are housed; wherein the wall has a top surface on a front side of the electronic timepiece and a bottom surface on a back side of the electronic timepiece, and the flat antenna and the case are disposed so that a side distance between a side of the flat antenna and the wall in the plane direction is greater than or equal to one time and less than or equal to two times a vertical distance between the top surface of the wall and the flat antenna.
