    Description

    It is rare to find an original, unrestored, vintage Chelsea clock in excellent condition. It is rarer still to find one with pedigree. This clock is both. Built in 1966 from the bombproof 12E movement, this 6” clock face Chelsea ship's clock sailed with the mariners and surveyors of the USC&GS for over 60 years. This is the first time the clock has been made available since it was removed from duty. A modern, synchronized, ship's clock network replaced the vessel's Chelsea clocks in the 80's and since then this clock has sat lovingly packaged away in the quartermaster's locker for over 40 years. Similar restored clocks from this year have sold for upwards of 00 from Chelsea direct.
    Tested and working flawlessly.
