Swiss
This unique timepiece is one of the Swiss transitional period watches, a vintage Elgin automatic wristwatch dated from the early 1970s.
It is a self-winding watch powered by an Elgin movement caliber grade 996 (based on AS 1902/03), 17 jewels, sweep second, unadjusted, Swiss made.
The beautiful silver sunburst dial is in great condition! The Arabic numerals 12, 3, 6, and 9 are blue, and the silver baton hands each have a blue stripe. The dial is signed Elgin and Automatic, and Swiss Made. The stainless-steel case measures 32.5mms.
Adding to the beauty is the vintage JB Champion gold stainless steel one-piece flex bracelet. It has a very pretty geometric pattern on the sides.
It comes with a new-old-stock brown Kreisler Teju Grain two-piece strap.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
It will be carefully packed.
