Marine Chronometers
Marine Navigation Set
Even in an age of GPS systems and satellite navigation, a sextant and chronometer are still recommended equipment for a luxury or ocean-going yacht because they do not rely on on-board electronics and are therefore indispensable as an emergency system.
The marine navigation set by Nautische Instrumente Mühle-Glashütte combines traditional instruments into an astronomical position-finding system for use at sea. The set contains two high-grade instruments from leading manufacturers, namely a Mühle marine chronometer and a Freiberger drum sextant.
Quartz Marine Chronometer
We considerably exceed the requirements laid down for chronometers by the DIN standard 8319. The outstanding accuracy of our chronometers is achieved by means of ultra-modern electronics with a selected artificially aged and temperature-stabilized 4.19 MHz piezoelectric quartz.
The battery can be changed without interrupting the action: The chronometer will continue to run for at least 5 minutes and it is not necessary to reset the time. No maintenance by the manufacturer is required. The mechanism and electronics are designed for years of continuous operation. Adjustments by an expert are even possible without opening the chronometer. The trimmer and test jacks required for this are located under the cover plate at 7 o'clock.
