A classic Elgin from the late 1930s, paired with a great vintage band. The watch shows a classic art deco metropolitan look, with clean straight lines and a minimum of ornamentation. The Star on the dial harks back to the days when Elgin marketed their watches as “Timed to the Stars.”

The watch is in Excellent condition. The Wadsworth case is signed Elgin and is 10K gold filled, both back and bezel. There are no signs of brassing or wear through on the case. The dial and hands are original and in Very Good condition. The domed crystal is a replacement and without scratches or marring. The case is engraved on the back: “Arnie From JoJo.”

This watch is paired with a 1930s expansion band. The band is like new and serves as a perfect compliment to the styling of the bezel and the markers at the 3 and 9 positions on the dial.

The movement is one of Elgin’s early 17 jewel “X” movements. The watch is running and keeping good time.

We don’t know the service history of this watch and it has not been serviced while in our possession. While the watch is currently keeping good time, we encourage you to have it serviced to get the longest enjoyment from the piece.
