This 6” Marine Mechanical Clock was originally sold to the US Navy Department on September 29, 1970. 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 white dial clock features 12/24-hour time with black numerals. The dial is marked with “Chelsea Clock Co. Boston U.S. Government” The 12E movement (time-only mechanism) has been completely overhauled. Serial #756157.
