This 6” Marine Mechanical Clock was originally sold to the U.S. Navy Department on July 31, 1943. In the 1940’s and beyond, Chelsea Clock was the primary supplier of clocks for ships in the U.S. Navy. The case is made of a very durable phenolic resin which was jointly developed by the Navy and Chelsea Clock so the clock would not break or shatter if it fell on the deck of the ship. This black dial clock features 12/24-hour time with white numerals. The dial is marked with “U.S. Navy.” The 12E movement (time-only mechanism) has been completely overhauled. Serial #372099.
