It was common up until a few years ago in chronometer rate books to label each one by serial number in the book as they were often the same make and model, as well as very close in serial number, if not sequential. I have noticed that this has changed recently since ships rarely carry more than one chronometer these days. With various time ticks available, and the explosion of logs that need to be maintained, the chronometer error log has been abandoned. The last one I saw kept was in 2001 and we had but one chronometer on board. My current ship has a chronometer, but it is not treated as such, and merely serves as a wall clock.
