On Amazon, I found two clocks of interest to the net:

1.  With Silent Periods and Auto Alarm timing markings:  

2.  24-hour analog face: 

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Amazon would carry these items!

Hello Jeff-

The Amazon clock is much cheaper than the Chelsea radio room clock.
This clock runs on battery, dont have to re-wind it every few days.

Hello Jim -

Just go on amazon.com and look up cafe/press replica ships radio room wall clock.

I am sure its a cheap plastic clock. Not like the heavy duty metal and plastic Chelsea clock that we all remember.
Chelsea still makes that clock.

OK?

Something a bit more authentic perhaps?

That amazon sourced clock looks nice.  I would buy that one if I needed another. 

I bought the Chelsea quarts clock when Dave pointed it out years (6? 7?) ago. While the case and face look quite authentic, I was not happy with the cheap German quartz movement. Just sitting on my wall, it stopped working. I sent it back within the warranty period. It came back, worked for a while and the replacement movement stopped working. I sent it back. The replacement worked for a while and stopped working. Now out of warranty, I gave up and bought as close to the same movement I could find, on Amazon, same German maker. It was ALMOST the same. I think the second hand gear was different. Being a retired sparks, what else would I do than take both movements apart and put one together with parts of each to get it to work. I think I had to use just one gear out of the old one, the one the second hand pressed onto. That replacement has been working fine for years now. I also don't like having to disassemble the entire face to change the local time hour hand, but I leave it at the DST offset and don't worry about it.

More authentic?
It depends how you define it.
These so-called “submarine “ clocks like that one on eBay were sold by the thousands by catalog mail order venders in the USA and I presume in other countries back in the 1990’s.
The Russians were emptying their stockpiles of USSR items.
I paid about $59 USD for one back then. I still have it complete with wall mounting bracket. Their weakness is that the platform escapement was rather fragile. New platforms were available until recently.
  Aside from maritime interests, I collect and repair antique clocks.

Hello Mike,

I think you have the wrong Jim.
I am a former Radio Officer and now an amateur.

Interesting artefact from my ship.  The radio room clock aboard USS KIDD has the ship’s name engraved into its face.
