"Typhoon" Submarine ClockA few years back, Russia's Vostok Military Clock Factory produced these 8-day ship's clocks, like those found on the Soviet Navy's nuclear submarines and warships. Subsequently, economic hardships caused the Russian Navy to stop building subs and this factory to halt producing clocks. We cajoled them to make a few, just for us. The precision, 12-jewel mechanical movement is sealed in an aluminum housing to survive depths to 2,000' and depth charge concussions. Features Typhoon sub (made famous in The Hunt for Red October) breaking the water's surface, hammer and sickle and marine anchor, all surrounded by a polished brass-colored faceplate. Made in Russia and Typhoon, in Russian, on dial. A whopping 6½ lbs., 8" diameter (5½" face), 3" deep. 9" wall-mounting plate, dual-purpose key and factory documents. Serial numbered. One-year warranty. Ideal for home or office. (Our top choice for that unique gift for special clients and tough-to-buy-for guys.) |
