Trintec 24 Hour Military TIME SWL Zulu TIME White 24HR White Wall Clock 10"

Made in Canada, NOT China. I'm a ham operator and ex-military. Even my cameras are set to Zulu time so i can travel the world and not fret about time zones. This replaces a trusty analog 24-hr clock that died after 22 years. I bought a replacement movement for the dead clock but I'm beginning to like this better. In an unconditioned room the clock has remained within 3 seconds of WWV and WWVB since purchase. Too early to estimate battery longevity and I haven't measured current consumption. Stepping second hand but I got used to it.

Z or Zulu Time is the Military designation for UTC/GMT. It's used mostly in radio communications that span multiple time zones, and one time zone has to be settled on. However, nothing says the Trintec has to be set to Zulu. You can set it to local time, or any other zone. I have had a 24 hour format wall clock before, but somewhere along the line, it broke. When I saw the Trintec, I decided to try it out. It's been a week since I set the second hand to the zero mark and compared with a Radio-controlled clock as a reference, it is only a second off. Considering 15 seconds drift in a month is average for many consumer grade clocks, this is going 5 seconds making it a quality quartz movement. The only downside I see is "tracking", which means how the second and minute hands line up the second and minute marks. Some places it's dead on and other places it's halfway between the marks. I think this has something to do with a majority of quartz clocks and watches, so unless I pay well over $100 or buy a digital display, I won't get to a perfect track level. It meant for wall use and it's a unique analog in that it's 0-24 and not 0-12 with 13h-24h on a inner ring, which can at times be ambiguous. Is it 01 or 13h in the place you are calling?

The Trintec Zulu time clocks are easy to read, accurate and easy to change battery. As an amateur radio operator I have three Trintec 24 HR ZULUTIME clocks. One I keep on Universal Coordinated time, one on local (Mountain Standard) time and one on Eastern time. I purchased one clock and it served me so well I purchased 2 more. I highly recommend Trintec 24 HR ZULUTIME wall clocks.

It’s a clock works fine at but looses or gains a couple of minutes on either side. Gave it an extra star because it drives people nuts!

It came broken the second hand was disconnected from it drive. Product cheaply made. So disappointed just trashed it.

I love the size of this clock. It's size does not dominate the wall where it is located but appears to be just the right size. Having a clock that actually has 24 hours on the dial rather than just 12 with the additional 12 hours marked adjacent to the 12 hour dial is greatly appreciated.

I had this "same clock" for over 20 years. It was my negligence not the manufacturers falt I had to buy a new one.

Works well. Keeps accurate time.
