Elgin Uncatalogued 1400 Series

This uncatalogued model has yet to be identified from existing Elgin literature and documents, but is a properly marked, factory-cased model. It is likely part of Elgin's "1400" series of men's watches produced in 1935 and 1936. It has a large stepped case with ornate engravings on the bezel. It is in excellent condition with a very small amount of brassing to the bezel corners and some brassing to the lugs. Caseback is excellent with an elaborate presentation engraving from 1936 and a few specks of wear in the corners. Case measures 40mm long and 29mm wide. Has new glass crystal. Original two-tone dial is superb. The watch is powered by its correct 17-jewel Elgin grade 487 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
