The "Naviquartz" was publicly presented for the first time at the 1970 Basel Fair. These "Naviquartz" clocks are high precision timepieces primarily used for celestial navigation and determination of longitude. An accurate chronometer was essential to deep sea marine or air navigation when out of sight of land. The present example was originally retailed through Tiffany & Co. and has a Tiffany & Co. signature on the dial. This clock has a hinged stand on the back making it the perfect desk clock.
