This clock was preserved by my father, who spent his military career servicing and working directly on U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortress bombers. During the early Cold War eras (1950s–1960s), these 24-hour Elgin timers were mounted inside the film-based gun camera tracking systems of strategic aircraft to overlay precise mission timestamps directly onto combat and training reels. A fantastic piece of authentic Strategic Air Command (SAC) aviation history* Mechanical: Non-Working / For Repair or Parts Only. The movement does not wind or run.
* Cosmetic: Dial numbers and hands remain highly legible. The exterior casing shows minor age-appropriate wear and light weathering consistent with military surplus hardware.
* Please review the photos carefully to evaluate the physical condition prior to purchase.
Specifications:
* Brand: Elgin National Watch Co.
* Dial: 24-Hour Military Time layout with central sweep second hand
