Vostok Ship Clock - New in Collection

Here is a Vostok 5-ChM ship clock which is a new arrival in collection.



Here is a video.


It's going to serve now as my kitchen clock, and here it is already on top of the refrigerator.



The same key opens the case and winds it.


It is on an after-market plywood stand which appears to be solid and well enough made.


Lid opened.




Now on the counter top with various glassware and possibly even liquids.


I am positive it is NIB aka new in box.






This is Vostok ship clock No. 2 but the first one USSR made.


Made in January 89.

I think it has been in conservation; in any case it has been keeping good time so far, even though I had a small problem with the seconds hand which got loose and even snagged on the minute hand but I managed to fix it.

Vostok 5ChM Clock in Submarine Control Room

Photo showing a Vostok 5ChM Ship Clock in the control room of ORP Orzeł, a Polish Kilo class diesel-electrical submarine.


You can see it almost in the center, a tad to your right. The dial is a radio room type of dial.

My Vostok 5ChM clock is here. Except mine is a sub detail type of dial. I like the radio room much better though.

Vostok Ship Cabin Clock

My Vostok ship cabin clock 5-ChM MZ.
























On the wall in my log cabin in the woods, keeping (a very accurate) time since 2007.

Three hands, including center mounted seconds hand, a regulator switch, hand-wound with a key which also opens/locks the case, 8 days power reserve, dust-proof, moisture-proof, some even claim, water-proof.





















More pictures (and words) later.
