Abstract
A tide watch having a direct reading high tide indicator and a settable bezel for alignment with the high tide time on the watch dial so that the hour hand always indicates the approximate condition of the tide. The watch dial is formed with a semi-circular opening having indicia therearound to represent the tide times. A disc is mounted beneath the watch dial having indicia thereon which are settably aligned with the index marks around the semi-circular opening for setting of the local higher high tide condition. The high tide indicator on the bezel can be aligned with the expected high tide time on the watch dial so that the hour hand will always provide an approximation of the current condition of the tide at any time it is viewed.
