It has black hands and numerals on white dial with a red sweeping hand, and a mechanism that chimes the fascinating "Ship's Bells" watch keeping system of four hours on four hours off, striking one bell after the first half-hour, two after an hour and so on until the end of watch "eight bells" - time to change crew and start the pattern again. The case is a combination of machined solid brass castings, pressings and spinning, heavily stove-lacquered for a lasting finish. Quartz movement uses 1 x AA battery.
