HISTORY & USE
Soviet 5-ChM Marine Submarine Clocks
The 5-ChM ship clock is a legendary artifact of Soviet maritime history. Created for military ships, icebreakers, cargo vessels, and submarines, these clocks were designed to work continuously under harsh ocean conditions. The rubber-gasket seal and locking hinged front prevented salt moisture, dust, and diesel fumes from entering the mechanism. To this day, they remain iconic examples of durable vintage industrial technology.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Antique and vintage mechanical clocks require careful mounting and operational handling.
- Mount the clock securely to a flat, sturdy wall surface using appropriate heavy-duty screws or anchors through the rear mounting flange.
- Use the included winding key to wind the mainspring smoothly until gentle resistance is felt. Do not force or overtighten.
- To adjust the time, gently open the hinged front glass bezel using the key latch and rotate the hands clockwise.
- The fine regulator lever (S/F - Ч/П) at the top of the dial allows small speed adjustments if necessary.
- Keep away from extreme moisture or direct rainwater to prevent surface corrosion over time.
