A commemorative collectible honouring John Harrison's groundbreaking work.

The Miniature Sheet's stamps are cancelled with the alternative postmark on the first day of issue, 12 June 2025.

The four First Class stamps showcase Harrison's marine timekeeper prototypes for measuring longitude at sea, including H4 with its convention-defying watch design.

The alternative postmark includes an illustration of the Royal Observatory's weathervane modelled on the depiction of Halley's Comet in the Bayeux Tapestry.
