Yes, its one of the larger ones Chelsea made.

[@jamesmartin5370]

Thanks Kristy,
Glad you enjoyed it.
This one I was told sat for many years in an unused cubby hole on a boat, must be where it took in so much moisture.

[@larrykelly2838]

[@jamesmartin5370]

Thanks for the comment, it ended up keeping next to perfect time as well.

Hi and merry Christmas Mr martin

[@jamesmartin5370]

Thanks,
Merry Christmas to you as well and happy new year............

[@jordanbusby6231]

@jamesmartin5370 thank you very much

[@MrLHabets]

That's an interesting design. What purpose was the 24 hours for? I'm not aquainted with it.

[@jefflormans5441]

Like you I haven't bothered to Google it but I'm pretty sure the military use 24 hour clocks to avoid confusion between a.m and p.m

[@jamesmartin5370]

Yep, as Jeff said, it avoids confusion and reduces mistakes.

[@MrLHabets]

@@jefflormans5441 Indeed, I live in The Netherlands and am only used to a 24 hours system. Thanks.
