I love these old military clocks.

I have several in my collection including a Swiss-made Jaeger LeCoultre Chronograph:

It was built for the Russian military in the 1930's
(who would have thought they could afford it?)
& you see them in eBay every once in a while:

This chronograph, in it's original Swiss version, is
sometimes found in elegant & expensive touring cars
in the 1930's, like John Mozart's 1937 Alfa Romeo's
8C 2900B Touring Spyder (a Pebble Concours winner):

And also some post-war rally cars!

The OP's piece looks terrific & seems to be a Russian-made
(Wostok) version of a Swiss Jaeger LeCoultre 'Chronoflite'.
It was used in the Mig 15 (Korean War era) & beyond.
You can see an early version on this Mig 15 cockpit:

It is more common & affordable to purchase that the earlier Swiss made Jaegers:
