Watch : Elgin De Luxe Wristwatch, 1951

The watch has a calibre 624 17-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number N63032 which dates it back to 1951. The watch measures 22mm wide excluding the winding crown, and 28mm high excluding the lugs. It would originally have been a man’s watch but it would suit someone with a slimmer wrist. The case is 10k gold filled and it is in lovely condition. The lens has a few fairly light scratches (some white reflection showing in the photos). The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a 1950s Elgin De Luxe box, not original to the watch as it is for the Durapower model. All Prices Include UK Postage.
