SMITHS ASTRAL 8 day military wall clock with 12 inch dial, 1965
This clock was produced by Smiths for the War department in 1965. It is stamped to the rear with the 'broad arrow' and a KA number. It is in truly outstanding original condition and appears to have had little, if any, use.
It is driven by the robust and reliable 8 day front-winding and front-regulating Smiths Astral 123 movement with large platform escapement, also dated 1965. The aluminium dial, mahogany case, glass and sight ring are near-mint. The lacquered brass bezel shows only minimal tarnishing.
The clock has been disassembled, cleaned and serviced and the case wax-polished. It is supplied in full working order with instructions on setting up and regulating plus guidance on aftercare.
