Historical Background

These cockpit clocks were manufactured in Chelyabinsk, a key city for Russian watch and instrument production.

In the early years, the Soviet military relied on imported instruments such as the Le Coultre Chronoflight Caliber 310-5321. Soon, however, Soviet factories began producing their own cockpit clocks – inspired by Swiss designs but powered by entirely self-developed movements.

The AY-C-1 was used for decades in many Soviet military aircraft, including the famous MiG-29. It offered reliability, clear readability and high durability – qualities that pilots depended on under extreme conditions.

Why this Example is Special

• Very few pieces available in true new-old-stock condition

• With all original parts, seals & documentation – as if just produced

• Delivered including matching plexiglass stand – perfect for display or decoration if not mounted in an aircraft

Usage & Impression

The AY-C-1 aircraft clock is far more than just an instrument:

• An impressive collector’s and display piece – a striking eye-catcher on a desk, shelf or in a showcase

• Can optionally be mounted in classic car cockpits, aircraft replicas or yachts

• Ideal for enthusiasts of military technology and collectors of historic aviation instruments

An authentic MiG-29 aircraft clock from original CCCP stock – rugged, technically fascinating, and extremely rare in this condition.
