Elgin Ridgewood
Scarce Elgin "Ridgewood" men's Mid-Century Modern design wristwatch in 10K yellow gold fill with original matching Hadley bracelet, circa 1954.
The "Ridgewood" has a two-tone black and white dial and a rectangular case with black inlay in each corner. This example has its scarce factory-supplied matching expansion bracelet with black inlay. It was priced at $69.50 in 1954. It is in excellent condition with only a few tiny specks of brassing to the lugs. Caseback is excellent and unengraved with some light scratches. The case measures 34mm long and 26mm wide. Original two-tone black and white dial is superb. Has correct domed glass crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 19-jewel Elgin grade 671 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong. Matching Hadley expansion bracelet is excellent, with some light brassing and a couple of links having a little bit of extra stretch.
