The 127-4C (in Cyrillic: 127-ЧС) onboard clock is a mechanical timepiece from Soviet-era that was mainly produced during the Cold War, specifically in the period from the 1960s to the 1980s. • Origin: Produced in the Soviet Union (USSR) by manufacturers such as the well-known Molnija clock factory in Chelyabinsk. • Application: Although they are often called "onboard clocks" or "aircraft clocks," this specific 127-model (recognizable by the characteristic winding knob located on the bottom) was widely used in the dashboards of armored vehicles and tanks (such as the T-55, T-62 and T-72 families), as well as in some military aircraft and naval ships. • Luminous paint: The letter "B" (В) under the serial number on the dial indicates that the clock is equipped with a safe, light-accumulating (phosphorescent) paint that glows after exposure to light, unlike older models from the 1945–1950 period which still contained dangerous radioactive radium. • Movement: These clocks are known for their extremely robust and heavy construction, and have a mechanical movement that, when fully wound, can run for about 5 to 9 days. On the dial the numbers are: 127-4C and 56125 B With seconds hand and runs nicely Heavy clock, 294 grams For a good general impression, see the attached photos Sent by registered mail
