A Marine chronometer is a specialized timekeeping device used to accurately determine a ship’s longitude, or exact geographical location. It is capable of providing highly accurate, reliable and consistent time readings on the open sea, and is an invaluable tool for navigators. Marine chronometers feature a wide range of features, including a highly accurate mechanical movement, a temperature-compensated balance wheel and an adjustable balance spring. They are also designed to be resistant to shocks and vibration, ensuring that the time readings remain consistent even in the roughest of seas.
