Elgin Big Eye Diver

Very scarce Elgin “Big Eye Diver” men’s Modern design wristwatch in chrome plate and stainless steel, circa 1968.

This watch has a rotating bezel and a striking black and white dial with a large "big-eye" sub-seconds dial. It is a very scarce model and this is only the second I have ever offered. This example is in excellent condition showing only light scratches to the chromium plating on the bezel. Underside of lugs shows some light plating wear. Screwdown caseback has some light scratches. The case measures 43mm long and 37mm wide. Original dial is excellent. Has new acrylic crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 17-jewel Elgin grade 874 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
