In the 18 Century, the carpenter John Harrison developed on behalf of the British government a precision instrument for accurate determination of longitude at sea, the first marine chronometer. These high-precision chronometers, gimbal mounted in wooden boxes where mainly built for the Navy in Hamburg, Kiel and Glash├╝tte. They where used on many marine vessels until the invention of the quartz movement and are highly collectable items today. As a tribute to the craft and to be able to enjoy looking at this classic design on the wrist, STEINHART has developed the series “Marine Chronometer”. Powered by a Swiss automatic movement with central second and date complication, wound by a marine blue rotor, stored in a brushed stainless steel case with slim 38 mm diameter, you can admire the elegant beauty of this instrument under the domed sapphire crystal at any time now.
