Not Since
September 7, 1811
The last time Cincinnati saw a total eclipse of the Sun was September 7, 1811.
Solar eclipses can feel like rare events. There are at least two solar eclipses somewhere on Earth every year. Total solar eclipses occur on average once every two to three years. While a partial eclipse can be viewed over an area of thousands of miles, without special equipment you wouldn't even notice unless atl east 90% of the sun is obscured by the moon. In order to be in totality you will need to be on a path just over 100 miles wide.
Impressive
Velvet Black Dial
The dial is velvet black and features hour markers and hands in dark yellow X1 Super-Luminova for exceptional legibility. The case features a black PVD coating. The stainless steel case back is engraved with the date of the eclipse and each watch is individually numbered from 001/100 to 100/100
Considered the Birthplace of American Astronomy, the Cincinnati Observatory is home to one of the oldest telescopes in America and was the first public observatory in the western hemisphere. The observatory recently celebrated their 150th anniversary. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this watch will go to support the Observatory's mission.
The Totality passes to the North West of Cincinnati. People that live on the North West part of Cincinnati will be in the Totality while the people on the East End and Downtown are not in the totality. Come stay in Cincinnati Ohio to experience the 2024 Solar Eclipse Totality.
