Heavy! Weighs a lot. Feels good to hold, solid, robust... Russian!
Diameter 5,5 cm ~ 2 in

Use it a lot in TMO... "Single contact, Sir! Long distance!" click!

Can only recommend it. Wanted an authentic WW2 US Chronometer, but changed my mind when I saw the price... this will be perfectly fine!

Wow nice!!! What a find!

But, if that's do not fell authentic for a WWII american skipper, at least you can fake it as you were te skipper of the Red October. I believe that either Sean connery or Sam Neil uses one of those to time evnts on the movie.
