Scarce Lord Elgin "Futura" men's Space Age design mystery dial wristwatch in 14K yellow gold fill, circa 1955.
The "Futura" has a rotating brushed silver disk with a gold inset hour marker, and a conventional gold minute hand. It was priced at $84.50 in 1958. It is quite scarce with the original "Lord Elgin" printing intact on the outer gold hour chapter. This example is in crisp, near mint condition with no brassing. Caseback is superb and unengraved. Case measures 40mm long and 31mm wide. Original brushed gold and silver dials are superb. Has genuine Elgin factory new-old-stock wrap-around acrylic crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 23-jewel Elgin grade 730 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
Price $400.
