From pictures I've seen, I think you have to open the front cover and loosen 3 screws. This will separate clock from its base. Base is screw to wall with 4  screws.

Tab at the center top is the catch. Push it towards the wall and slide the clock upwards and it should slide off.

This is a new one on me. How old is it?

Not as old as you might think, you can still get new ones. (not sure about the one above)

I have a Frankenstein version of this clock. Someone put this Vostok movement into an English style brass casing and slapped on a Smiths clock face. 

It had me stumped for awhile. Couldn't figure out what movement it was. I checked all internet photos for the trademark on the plates. Finally found out it was a Russian navy clock. Supposed to be used in their submarines. 

It seems it was 1st made in 1948. I think they are still in production. 

It's pretty accurate but really noisy. I'm sure you could locate the sub by the noise this clock makes with modern hydrophones.
