Daily accuracy is unknown, and like any vintage military mechanical instrument it may need professional cleaning or adjustment if precise timekeeping is wanted. The dial and hands show an authentic vintage patina, and the metal frame and decorative columns show age and oxidation. The acrylic stand is intact with minor surface abrasions and no major damage. Sold as-is; please examine all photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eClocks installed in Soviet tanks and other vehicles were built to survive vibration, shocks and temperature swings in the field, which is why many of them still run today. Displaying one on a stand lets you watch the gears, and the plain dial and big numerals reflect the practical style of military instruments. It is a conversation piece for collectors of Soviet militaria and Cold War history, and for desks with an industrial look.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soviet Vintage Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67671291035797,"sku":"v1|406923401004|0","price":137.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/0500\/3413\/files\/s-l1600_0f6cdcfb-5d91-41b7-887f-b4a9c4a80d79.jpg?v=1791475547","url":"https:\/\/sovietvintagestore.com\/products\/soviet-tank-clock-mechanism-hand-wound-military-movement-acrylic","provider":"Soviet Vintage Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
