Very handsome stainless steel clock with silence periods* marked on the face to show when it’s traditional to maintain radio silence to listen for distress calls. The case is mirror polished and made of solid 0.5mm thick 304 stainless steel, which both looks great and resists corrosion. The recessed dial is behind a domed glass for style & ease of reading and the mechanism features blue hands with a red second hand. The Quick-locking base mount attaches to a bulkhead, and then allows the clock to be easily clipped in place or removed for adjustment. These clocks are made in Denmark and are built to last. Key Features German UTS Quartz movement Accuracy: +/-6 minutes/year Mirror polished stainless steel case Front glass is PMMA (Acrylic glass) Face Diam: 106mm, Overall Diam: 129mm, Depth: 40mm 3 YEAR GUARANTEE For the matching barometer, see P/no 350044 *Silent Time Zones: Traditionally during these three-minute periods (on the hour, quarter past, half past and quarter too), radio silence should be maintained in order that any distress calls can clearly be heard by the emergency services. This was particularly applicable in the days of lower power transmissions where some distant signals could be very faint.
