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.
Clocks of this type were built to the rigid specifications of the military and tested for accuracy by the Naval Observatory
so there is no difference in quality between the two major manufacturers, Chelsea and Seth Thomas.
The clock is running strong and keeping good time compared to an accurate quartz
watch. It gained approximately two minutes over eight days which can be adjusted by the rotary fast-slow wheel or by winding
it about every third day.
