Elgin Art Deco "Cushion Case"

The 1930's exhibited a heavy influence of Art Deco design that was sprinkled throughout the watch world and, if you were an "in the know" gentleman, you would have purchased a great looking Deco design for your wrist.  This cushion shaped Elgin is just such a watch at a price that won't sap your funds.  We offer it here today as an affordable watch with a design that has stood the test of time.  Notice the two-tone silvered dial with a copper colored minute track that skirts the dial perimeter with Deco Arabic numerals at the 12, 2, 4, 8, and 10, while the other chapters are represented by copper colored dots with black enclosures.  The seconds bit, at the 6 o'clock position echoes the overall case shape.  The case which measures 29mm wide by 10mm thick, by 37mm lug to lug has a yellow gold filled top (matching the hands) and a stainless steel back for wearing longevity.  The fifteen jewel movement is running like a top and is good to go for another generation to appreciate.  We have fitted it with a dark brown lizard grain strap that suits it perfectly.  Remember all of our watches come with a one year warranty for parts and labor so that you may buy with confidence.
