This type of chess clock was widely used in the mid-20th century in the western bloc of the Soviet Union (USSR) and the surrounding countries. Thanks to its timeless design, it is a highly sought-after collector's item.


The same clock was used in "The Queen's Gambit," in the scene where Beth Harmon played Georgi Girev at a tournament in Mexico.
