Tides are due to the gravitational pull of the sun and
the moon on the earth's surface. Most areas of the world
have semi-diurnal tides, a high tide approximately every
12 hours 25 minutes. This Downeaster tide clock utilizes
a battery-operated movement that keeps lunar time relating
to the movement of the tides-12 hours 25 minutes.
An easy-to-read dial indicates time to high and low
tides, as well as to the ebbing and flooding half tides.
Set this clock to wherever you want to track the average
tide cycle-for example, your favorite beach, harbor,
or fishing area.
This model has a White Face plate enclosed in a highly
polished Brass Case.
