The Many Places for a Patriot Deck Clock
It’s not uncommon for people to associate Chelsea Clock with nautical clocks and the U.S. Navy, and we’re proud of that. The Patriot Deck Clock is no small part of that history. In fact, it’s inspired by 1940s military clocks Chelsea made for U.S. Navy ships during World War II.
At the time, metals were in short supply and, therefore, Chelsea was challenged to use something other than brass to craft its naval clocks. But the Navy still needed a military-grade clock that could stand up to the rigors of war and life at sea.
Chelsea answered the call with the Patriot Deck Clock, which featured a heavy-duty black resin case. It was water resistant-resistant, could withstand extremes in temperature, and wouldn’t crack or shatter if it fell off the wall. The Patriot Deck Clock was so successful that the Navy still uses a version of it today aboard submarines, destroyers, and other seafaring vessels.
Chelsea Clock continues to make a version of this original WWII clock, with only slight modifications. In addition, Chelsea has added a Radio Room Clock, a barometer and two tide instruments to round out the Patriot Deck Collection. All Patriot pieces offer the same toughness and water-resistance that make them ideal for a wide range of places – indoors and out. If you thought Chelsea clocks were only good for well-appointed living rooms, think again. Here are just a few suggestions of the perfect places for something from the Patriot Deck Collection:
1. Boats and Yachts
True to its heritage, the Patriot Deck clock is built for life at sea. If it’s tough enough for the U.S. Navy, it’s tough enough for your boat. Its water-resistant features stand up to wind, weather and sea spray. And its rugged exterior means you don’t have to worry about it cracking, peeling or corroding.
2. Boathouses
Not only does the Patriot Deck Clock go great on boats, but it’s also perfect for the place you store them. Rugged and water resistant, it’s the perfect way to display time in places you might not want to bring your watch or phone.
