Hasselblad 500 C/M "Clock"

The Hasselblad 500 C/M is a medium-format 6x6 single-lens reflex camera taking 120 roll film, part of the Swedish-made V System with interchangeable lenses, viewfinders and film backs. The "Clock" refers to examples carrying a clock-style frame counter or display variant within the 500 C/M line.

Sales data for the 500 C/M "Clock" is very thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £252 in October 2025 is the only datapoint on file, so today's value guidance rests on that one wholesale-level saleroom price rather than a settled range. Final prices vary widely with cosmetic condition, screen type and whether a lens, finder or back is included, and a single result should be treated as indicative only.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Hasselblad 500 C/M "Clock" worth today?

Based on the only UK auction hammer result on file, a 500 C/M "Clock" sold for £252 in October 2025, so current value sits in that area, though one sale is not a reliable range.

How much does a Hasselblad 500 C/M sell for at auction?

The single recorded saleroom price for this specific "Clock" variant is £252; broader 500 C/M prices depend heavily on whether a lens, finder and magazine are included.

Is the 500 C/M the same as the 501 CM?

No — the 500 C/M and 501 CM are different cameras within the Hasselblad V System and should not be treated as interchangeable when comparing prices.
