Lord Elgin "25" X
Automatic
Swiss Movement

We are SECOND HAND HOROLOGY, thank you for looking!

This is a very unique vintage Lord Elgin, in that although Elgin is an American company, this wristwatch uses a Swiss movement! This is a rare find in beautiful condition and was produced between 1955 and 1963. The reference number is 2823 and is named Lord Elgin "25" X.

The dial is a very clean silver dial with an eye-catching sunburst. The indices are slender gold sticks, with the indices at 3, 6, 9, 12 being slender arrows. The hour and minute hands are dauphine-style, and the sweep second is a very thin stick hand. The dial is marked Lord Elgin, 25, and Selfwinding, and is cased in a 33.8mm round 10K Rolled Gold Plate bezel, lugs and case back.

The Swiss-made automatic movement features a Grade 884 on Base AS 1673. It has 25 jewels and runs great!

It comes with an 18.5mm NOS brown leather two-piece strap with a gold buckle. It gently tapers to 12.6 at the buckle holes. It is marked Genuine Calf and Majestic.

This is a very attractive, rare Lord Elgin automatic wristwatch in great condition that would be at home either in a well-cared-for collection or on one's wrist!

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.

We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.

The condition is pre-owned.

The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended.

Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
It will be carefully packed.
