WW2 8-Day Mk2 RAF Aircraft Clock c.1943

A rare 8-Day RAF Mark 2 aircraft clock in perfect mint original condition, with the dial dated 1943 - Not repainted.

Made by Smiths, this clock could have been fitted to any WW2 bomber or fighter aircraft. However, the addition of 1953 maintenance unit inscriptions to the back of the clock, intimate that it remained in service postwar, possibly on a jet. Nevertheless, what is particularly rare is that the clock has retained its original glass and red auxilliary hands, a feature that was often lost should the glass have been replaced.

Presented in full working order with no damage to the bakerlite, this example looks stunning with deeply impressed AM Crown stamps. A great clock for regular use and display.
