Today's offering showcases this very cool vintage direct read Lord Elgin. These futuristic watches utilized a mechanical digital display for the hours and minutes. They have a great futuristic yet vintage look.
This model is known in collecting circles as the Chevron because of the way the case appears to display the company's logo.
The word Lord in Lord Elgin signified Elgin's premium line of watches which featured higher jeweled movements and more desirable cases. The 21 jewel 6 adjustment caliber 719 movement is the highest grade movement used in the direct read Elgin watches.
The watch is original and in good condition. The only replacement parts are the minute disk and a new-old-stock crystal we installed. Our watchmaker has freshly cleaned and oiled the movement.
For the finishing touch we have installed a new high quality crocodile strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.
