1918 ELGIN USA Gents WW1 Trench Watch

Elgin

$595.00

empressissi™ is pleased to offer this unique ELGIN USA trench watch from WW1 period with distinctive setting.

This watch houses a strong grade 462 caliber running on 7 jewels in manual wind. This movement is cased in a Silverine case which is an early Nickel-Silver composition, with unique fixed lugs. It has a large original crown and mint crystal.

The dial appears to me to be factory original with very little age and comes with the original set of bold hands.

This unique watch measures 31,5mm side to side (excluding crown) and 42mm from top lug to bottom lug.

Attached to this watch is a standard length brand new, 16mm wide genuine leather NATO style band in black tone.
