Elgin Watch Company - Rectangular - Cal

Elgin Vintage Rectangular – Manual wind – Caliber 624 – 17 Jewels – 10K Gold Filled Elegant and characterful vintage men's watch from Elgin with a classic rectangular, slightly curved case and manual winding movement. The combination of the light dial, applied gold-colored Arabic numerals, fine black minute track, and the small seconds at 6 o'clock gives the watch the typical elegant American dress watch style of its era. Inside, the high-quality Elgin Caliber 624 operates with manual winding. The movement has 17 jewels and, according to the movement engraving, is regulated in four positions (“4 Adjustments”). The movement number is N64884. The case is from Wadsworth, a well-known historic American case maker. Cased and Timed by Elgin National Watch Co. On the inner side you find the original marking “10K Gold Filled.” The curved shape of the case and the domed crystal give the watch a particularly beautiful classical line on the wrist.

A current timekeeping test on the timing machine yielded at the time of inspection: Rate deviation: approx. +19 seconds/day Amplitude: 266° Beat error: 2.7 ms Frequency: 18,000 A/h The corresponding timing measurement is documented in the photos. For a mechanical vintage watch, these values are a snapshot; permanently identical timekeeping cannot be guaranteed. Condition: The watch is in an authentic vintage condition with age- and wear-related traces. The dial shows natural patina and minor signs of aging. The case and crystal also show wear appropriate to the age. No heavy refurbishment appears to have been performed, preserving the classic vintage character. A beautiful and increasingly rare rectangular Elgin with the original 17-jewel manufacture movement, small seconds, and Wadsworth case – an attractive piece of American watchmaking history.
