    Ship's Chronometer

    Who is the manf of your ships chronometer?
    Do you use it for some of your sights?

    The chronometer on my current ship is a Tamaya.  I don't remember a model number.  Sadly it is adjusted with each of our time changes so it's not treated as a chronometer.  It is a quartz movement.  I haven't seen a wind-up movement since my 1st training ship in the mid to late 1990's which was built in 1968.
     
    I have never used a chronometer/stopwatch for any of my sights in my 10 years of celestial navigation.  I have always set my quartz watch to the WWV or other radio time tick to within 1 second and just shoot with that.  I tend to check my watch weekly, and find I need to adjust it about every month or so, depending on the model watch I have that trip.
