Rare Elgin "Legionnaire 303B" men's Art Deco design wristwatch in chromium nickel, circa 1929.

This model has yet to be definitively identified from known Elgin catalogs and advertisements. It shares the same case shape as the 1928 "Legionnaire 303" but with a different bezel engraving pattern. I have only seen a handful of this model. It is in very good condition with light overall wear to the chromium plating to the bezel. Caseback is good, with some pitting. The case measures 38mm long and 29mm wide. Original luminous dial is very good. Has new glass crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 7-jewel Elgin grade 485 manual wind movement, serviced a few years ago and still running strong. Crown shows some wear to the chromium plating.

Price $250.
