Lord Elgin Covington 14K
Scarce Lord Elgin “Covington” men’s Mid-Century Modern design wristwatch in solid 14K yellow gold with original strap, 14K buckle, and box, circa 1954.
The "Covington" has large, hooded lugs and a horizontal ribbed texture dial. It was priced at $150.00 in 1954 and is a scarce model. This example is in crisp, near mint condtion showing virtually no wear, just a few light mark. All case and lug edges are razor sharp. Caseback is superb and unengraved, with all of its factory-applied matte finish. The case measures 36mm long and 22mm wide. Original white-finish textured dial is superb, has solid gold applied numerals and markers which show some deep purple and orange patina. Glass crystal is superb. The watch is powered by its correct 21-jewel Elgin grade 670 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong. Original Elgin-signed genuine alligator strap is still soft and supple, and has original Elgin 14K gold buckle. Original maroon lucite box is excellent.
