  Jimmy Olsen's Signal-Watch
In 1954, Superman first gave his pal, Jimmy Olsen, a signal-watch with which to call him in emergencies.
Though it looks like an ordinary time-piece, it is actually quite unique; for, by pressing a hidden signal-button, Jimmy can send a "zee-zee" sound which is inaudible to the human ear, but which is easily picked up by the Man of Steel's super-hearing.
Thus, Jimmy cannot always count on Superman to respond to his signal, and so must use his wits to get himself out of difficulties.
