Model AYC-1

This is the model AYC-1 with additional Chronograph dial on position "6" - there is a separate 60 minute and 60 seconds Chronograph with 2 small hands  who is operated by pushing the knob on the right side.

This russian aircraft in-flight chronograph - made in Chelyabinsk - is still used today in many aircraft and helicopters.

If the russian military initially had to use an imported  clock with its "Le Coultre Chronoflight caliber 310-5321" for its aircrafts, the watchmakers of the former Soviet Union soon began producing their own Swiss-style clocks with a caliber of their own design.

This clock - Mod. AY C-1 has a  caliber with 26 jewels, monometallic screw balance, 18000 vibrations per hour, lever escapement, 2 barrels, seconds stop, chronograph function and at least 72 hours power reserve.

The second hand and the minute hand in the lower sub-dial are associated with the chronograph. The upper auxiliary dial serves as a flight hour counter and can also be used as an indicator for a second time zone.

The built-in temperature-controlled heating is supplied via two connections on the back of the clock with 27 volts operating voltage and works from <0 ° C.

This extremely resistant mounting clock is a real eye-catcher and does not necessarily have to be installed in just one MIG-29!
