Description
Original Soviet MiG Fighter Cockpit Clock — Cold War Era Aircraft Instrument
Offered here is an authentic Soviet MiG fighter aircraft cockpit clock, a genuine Cold War-era aviation instrument used across several MiG series jets during the mid-20th century. Designed for reliability under extreme flight conditions, this clock exemplifies Soviet engineering focused on precision, durability, and function.
Constructed with a robust all-metal case, this model features a mechanical movement with manual wind, luminous numerals, and hands for low-light cockpit visibility. The black dial bears clear Cyrillic markings, a subsidiary seconds register, and often a 12-hour elapsed time counter — a key function for flight time recording and mission tracking. Its glass crystal remains intact, showing typical service wear and minor age marks consistent with genuine use.
The reverse includes typical factory and arsenal stampings, with a serial number and production codes denoting issue through the Soviet Air Forces. These clocks were mounted directly to the aircraft instrument panel via four mounting screws and powered independently of the aircraft’s electrical system, ensuring operation even under combat or power-loss conditions.
This example displays excellent patina and operational authenticity, representing a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Cold War aviation history. Ideal for collectors of military timepieces, aviation memorabilia, or MiG aircraft components.
