Description

Elgin De Luxe wrist watch, 1951.

The watch has a calibre 624 17-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number N63032 which dates it back to 1951.

The watch measures 22mm wide excluding the winding crown, and 28mm high excluding the lugs. It would originally have been a man’s watch but it would suit someone with a slimmer wrist. The case is 10k gold filled and it is in lovely condition.

The lens has a few fairly light scratches (some white reflection showing in the photos).

The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a 1950s Elgin De Luxe box, not original to the watch as it is for the Durapower model.

Date of Manufacture

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Vintage Gold Wristwatch to the 1950s.

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (because of GPSR legislation, we no longer post items less than 100 years old to Europe, including Northern Ireland).

Please contact us regarding international shipping.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.

FAQs

Wristwatches from the 1950s frequently feature distinctive case shapes such as square, rectangular, or flared lugs, often paired with clean dials, Arabic or baton numerals, and mechanical hand-wound movements.

Mid-century watches typically utilised gold-filled or solid gold cases, stainless steel backs, acrylic crystals, and genuine leather straps, with brass and steel components comprising the internal mechanical movements.

Authentic period pieces feature maker signatures and serial numbers engraved on the inner case back and movement, mechanical hand-wound or early automatic calibres, and period-correct typography on the dial.

A vintage timepiece functions well as an elegant accessory for formal or smart-casual attire, pairing seamlessly with tailored suits or mid-century inspired wardrobes to add a subtle touch of heritage style.

Preservation involves keeping the watch away from moisture and magnetic fields, avoiding over-winding, storing it in a dry environment, and arranging periodic servicing by a professional horologist to maintain mechanical integrity.
