This Soviet navy ship clock was made by Vostok in 1948 and is an early example with a bottom-winding mechanism. It was described as a naval timepiece of the kind used in the radio rooms of submarines and warships. The dial is clear, the original hands are in place, and the red seconds hand stands out against the aged case.

About This Piece

Ship clocks were built for service on board vessels, where reliable timekeeping mattered for watch schedules and radio communication. Vostok is a well-known name in Soviet watchmaking, and a bottom-wind clock from 1948 shows how the factory approached naval instruments shortly after the war. Collectors of maritime antiques and Soviet clocks look for pieces like this because the size and weight make it a real display object.
