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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soviet Vintage Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67681929298069,"sku":"EBAY-407091422034","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/0500\/3413\/files\/soviet-navy-ship-clock-vostok-1948-1.jpg?v=1791722417","url":"https:\/\/sovietvintagestore.com\/products\/soviet-navy-ship-clock-vostok-1948","provider":"Soviet Vintage Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
