Watch : Gents 1960s Elgin Wrist Watch

The watch has a 17-jewel hand-winding movement, the Elgin 720, which is working nicely. The watch measures 32.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is gold plated while the screw-on case back is stainless steel. It states that the watch is waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture. The lens is in good condition (some natural light reflection showing in the main photos). The signed dial is in lovely condition with original hands and centre seconds hand. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland). Please contact us regarding international shipping costs. Some countries do not allow the importation of antiques / watches / precious metals. Please contact us prior to placing an order if you are unsure about your country and we can check this for you. The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes. All of our watches are checked over before listing and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
