Elgin Model 6619

Very scarce Elgin "Model 6619G" men's Military design wristwatch in solid 10K yellow gold with stainless steel caseback, circa 1947.

This unusual model has a solid 10K gold bezel and a stainless steel caseback. It was priced at $85.00 in 1947. It is a very scarce model and this is the first I have offered in several years. It is the finest example I have ever offered and is in crisp, near mint condition. Bezel and lug edges are razor sharp. The edges of the bezel show all of their brushed finish. Screwdown caseback is superb and unengraved. The case measures 38mm long and 31mm wide. Original large domed crown is superb. Original black finish gilt print dial is superb, with just a few light marks. Acrylic crystal is superb. The watch is powered by its correct 16-jewel Elgin grade 539 hack-setting manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
