Scarce Elgin “Model E-4” men’s Art Deco design wristwatch in yellow gold fill and steel, circa 1936.

This watch has a similar case design as the 1920s 6/0-size “Model E-4” but is a larger size, housing a 4/0-size movement. It has an Elgin factory-signed case, but I have yet determine its actual name or model number. This example is in excellent condition, with light brassing to the lugs. Steel caseback is excellent and unengraved. The case measures 36mm long and 29mm wide. Two-tone dial is excellent, has applied gold markers. Gilt hands show a little corrosion. Glass crystal is excellent. The watch is powered by its correct 17 jewel Elgin grade 487 movement.

(SOLD)
