Illinois Arlington
Scarce Illinois "Arlington" men's Machine Age design wristwatch in 14K yellow gold fill, circa 1934.
The "Arlington" was one of the last men's wristwatch models introduced by Illinois and has a stepped and faceted case. It was priced at $37.50. This example is in excellent condition showing only very light brassing to the edges of the lugs. Caseback is excellent, with a name and date engraving. The case measures 37mm long and 27mm wide. Original sparkle finish dial is excellent, with some faint patina. Glass crystal is excellent, with a few faint marks. The watch is powered by its correct 15-jewel Illinois grade 605 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
