Before buying a Nautical Clock, you should first understand the importance of Nautical Timings. These types of clocks are mostly used on ships and thus also known as Ship Clocks. Time on Ship has to be mentioned along with zonal description wherein number of hours is added to zone to achieve exact GMT (Greenwich Mean Time, a time system denoting the mean solar time in Greenwich, London, at Royal Observatory). Nautical Time Zone System refers the exact terrestrial time zone, which is used on high seas. According to the system, time changes initiate the changes in longitude in every one hour gap. This gap corresponds to the time zone on the 15 degree longitude. Nautical Time Zones (Nautical Standard Time Zones) are implied by not drawn on the maps.
