Offered here is a beautifully preserved Lord Elgin men’s wristwatch, a fine example of Elgin’s premium post‑war craftsmanship. This piece remains in original condition, showing the kind of gentle, careful ownership that collectors immediately recognize and appreciate. Housed in a 14k yellow gold‑filled case, the watch retains its warm luster with no wear‑through, crisp edges, and a clean, elegant profile. The original dial presents exceptionally well for its age—clear, balanced, and richly vintage without the heavy patina often seen on watches of this era. The crystal is bright and free of distracting marks, allowing the dial to shine.
Inside beats Elgin’s respected 21‑jewel Caliber 626, a high‑grade manual‑wind movement known for its smooth operation and long‑term reliability. This example runs well and demonstrates the quiet precision that made the Lord Elgin line a favorite among mid‑century professionals. As with any vintage mechanical watch that has spent years in storage, a routine service is recommended for everyday wear. Finished with a new black strap, this timepiece is ready to wear, display, or add to a curated collection. Its combination of originality, condition, and mechanical quality makes it a standout example of Elgin’s finest work.
A wonderful choice for collectors, enthusiasts, or anyone drawn to the understated elegance of true mid‑century American watchmaking.
