Weems and Plath Endurance II 135 Radio Room Quartz Clock with Military Time, Brass

Light, strong and durable, the Endurance II 24 Hour Radio Room Quartz Clock combines two clocks in one instrument. This innovative clock accommodates the dial of a radio room clock with a 24-hour clock movement. Radio Room Clocks were introduced in the early 1900’s, in part, on account of the tragic sinking of the Titanic. The Titanic had difficulty contacting nearby ships for rescue assist because the distress call system used to be ineffective. The Endurance II 24 Hour Radio Room Clock displays two 3-minute fan lines in red and two in green. These colored markings represent designated silence periods when only emergency radio messages were to be transmitted and received. The 24 hour clock display divides the day into 24 hour increments, indicating the hours from 0(nighttime) to 23. This method of time-keeping is ceaselessly known as military time. The Endurance II 24 Hour Radio Room Quartz Clock in brass finish features a traditional front opening porthole case housing an accurate quartz movement. Constructed of the same high luster, maintenance-free, ultra-hard finish that may be a hallmark of the original Endurance collection, this unique clock is weather resistant and guaranteed to never tarnish.
