Deck watches were popular among navy and merchant sailors in the early 20th century, particularly in WW1. They were originally made as pocket watches with hand-wound mechanical movements and were the successor to the original 'marine chronometer' style sea-clocks of the 18th century, which mariners used to calculate longitude by means of celestial navigation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Melbourne Portsea is powered by the Miyota Calibre 9122 'triple calendar' self-winding mechanical movement with day, date and month complications. The Cal. 9122 also features a 40 hour power reserve and a high 28,800bph beat rate for a smoother sweep of the second hand. The multi-layered dial features a unique moulded ceramic main disc which gives the Portsea a sense of depth and detail, capped off by classic silver hands with our signature \"M\" counter-balance. The Portsea is completed by a surgical grade 316L stainless steel casing, an anti-reflective sapphire crystal lens and an alligator grain leather strap. For peace of mind, all watches come with our 2 year warranty. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Melbourne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62795015258483,"sku":"PS.40.A.CAL.03","price":655.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/5859\/9795\/files\/apirtlz9d__48498.1619741600.1280.1280.jpg?v=1779790839","url":"https:\/\/longislandwatch.com\/products\/melbourne-automatic-calendar-watch-ps-40-a-cal-03","provider":"Long Island Watch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
