Antique Elgin Pocket Watch and Chain

Antique Elgin pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a good quality 17-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. This is a high grade movement with screw set jewels, Moseley patent regulator and Breguet hairspring for enhanced precision. The movement has beautifully patterned plates, and it is fully signed and carries the serial number 23,869,603 which dates it back to 1921.

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has some scratching from where it has been opened in the past.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold filled and it is in good condition, just general light surface marks and a small patch of rubbing to the back.

The acrylic lens has a little light marking, nothing serious at all.

The double sunk signed dial is in lovely condition with blued steel hands and an outer minute track.

The watch comes with a double albert, with each chain measuring 20cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
