Elgin 12‑Size Pocket Watch – Yellow Gold‑Filled Octagon Case – Clean & Running

 Elgin 12‑Size Dress Pocket Watch – 20‑Year Gold‑Filled Case – Emerald Crown!

This elegant Men’s Elgin 12‑Size Pocket Watch is housed in a striking yellow gold‑filled octagon case, a style highly prized for its bold geometry and classic Art Deco appeal. The case presents beautifully with no visible wear, retaining its crisp edges and bright gold‑filled finish—an excellent example of period craftsmanship.

Inside is a well‑running 7‑jewel Elgin movement, clean and properly functioning, protected in a 20‑year gold‑filled case topped with a distinctive green emerald‑colored crown jewel on the winding stem—an eye‑catching detail that adds a touch of refinement. The watch features a single‑sunk Arabic dial, offering clear readability and a timeless aesthetic. A faint hairline extends from the 12 o’clock position toward the seconds bit, but it is subtle and does not detract from the overall presentation; with a proper cleaning, it may become even less noticeable.

This is a charming and stylish vintage dress watch—perfect for collectors, enthusiasts of early 20th‑century American watchmaking, or anyone looking for a standout piece with character and originality.
