The Chelsea Timemaster is the pinnacle of maritime timekeeping - and
this model features a Radio Room dial. This clock has been used for many years by the United States Navy in the demanding shipboard environment - setting the standard long before satellites were used for navigation - and still in use today. This Chelsea Timemaster has a silent, high precision quartz movement as specified by the U.S. Military. It meets standards for vibration, temperature and humidity extremes. The accuracy of this quartz movement is +/- 1 minute per year. The Chelsea Timemaster clocks have passed U. S. Navy tests for accuracy, shock, vibration, temperature and humidity extremes. 6" diameter Radio Room dial Accurate 12 hour quartz movement (+/- 1 min per year) Second register Hinged front bezel Second hand Black phenolic case $200 shipped in original special box from Chelsea |

If you'd like to save $180 or more, this makes a nice radio room clock.
http://antiqueradio.org/art/temp/Mas...ftersClock.jpg I have two of them. The second, missing the dial cover but working perfectly, cost $1 from a junk box under the table at a swap meet. I think there are many more out there. Phil Nelson Phil's Old Radios http://antiqueradio.org/index.html |

http://www.sparkbench.com/xrc.jpg $200 for a quartz clock in a plastic case. You can get one for $180 on eBay. I still think the old Mastercrafters clock with world map is cooler. Best of all, it's not a quartz clock in a plastic case :-) Phil |

Much as I like Chelsea, a quartz movement doesn't add up. A Benjamin
Micheals (sp?) 24 Hr clock looks just as nice. If you want accuracy, get a MFJ atomic clock. BTW, Chelsea wanted $400 to change the face of my Maritime Commission clock over to the "radio room" version. I understand someone else may be able to do the job just as nice. Any leads? |
