A genuine piece of American watchmaking history.
This vintage Elgin wristwatch features a classic Art Deco rectangular case paired with its original 7-jewel manual wind movement. Housed in a Keystone Watch Case Co. 10K gold-filled case, this is a properly constructed vintage timepiece - not plated costume.
The elongated rectangular profile, raised Arabic numerals, and aged dial give it the unmistakable early 20th-century presence collectors look for.
