These onboard pieces are not terribly well documented. There's a similar one in Richter listed at $300 - $350 in the latest edition - likely a little low.

These are custom movements - larger obviously, but also a heck of a lot of shock resistance and longer power reserve.

It's a timer and not a clock. No central hour hand function.

It looks like a timer that was used on airplane instrument panels. You could measure elapsed time from engine start to estimate fuel burn. You could also use it on a timed instrument approach. Anyway, it's an interesting piece of history.
