Presented is an outstanding example of a very
rare Seth Thomas dual time zone ship’s clock made for the U.S. Navy. It complies
with the stringent standards set by the Federal Communications Commission for radio room clocks and those of the U.S. Navy.

it about every third day.FROM THE COMPANY’S CATALOG: “CHART model” 1938:
