Lord Elgin “Model 4902” men’s Retro Modern design wristwatch in solid 14K yellow gold, circa 1948.

Later re-named the "Henslee," this watch was initially catalogued simply as the "Model 4902" and priced at $125.00 in 1948.  It is housed in an Illinois Watch Case Company case; later versions were cased by Schwab & Wuischpard. It is in excellent condition showing only light wear. Caseback is excellent with a 1948 presentation engraving. The case measures 36mm long and 29mm wide. Original dial has solid 18K gold applied numerals and has one small mark near 12 o'clock. The all-numeral dial seems to be less common than the marker dial usually seen on this model. Acrylic crystal is excellent. This watch is powered by its correct 21-jewel Elgin grade 556 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
