Elgin Automatic

What is it about vintage watches that gets our heart racing?

Sometimes it’s the quaint aesthetic, beautiful patina, or the history they represents that tugs at our heartstrings. At other times, it’s the untold stories imbued into each and every mark, scuff and scratch that gives a timepiece that undeniable charm we so desperately love.

This time-only Elgin from the 1950s is imbued with precisely this type of character.

Housed in a 30.5mm stainless steel case, this small-but-mighty piece features an acrylic crystal, an unsigned crown, ‘holey’ lugs, and a screw-down caseback. The dial has patinated to an awesome champagne tone and features printed indices, applied quadrant markers, a matching sword handset, a ‘spear’ central-seconds hand, and a 'smiley' "Shockmaster" signature.

Outfitted with an Analog:Shift Byrd Blue Cervo strap with a matching steel pin buckle, this piece is powered by a self-winding Elgin Calibre 643 equipped with a full-body rotor and 17 jewels.

Some say that small watches are back. We say that they never left!
