    Unknown Elgin USMC - (Ref. 40993446 AS12597) Product Details

    Overall Condition: Good condition overall. Case shows normal signs of wear associated with age and use. Dial and handset show significant patina and Radium burn.

    Take a look at vintage black and white photographs from the World War, and you might spot some interesting wristwear. The US military has historically been issued some of the coolest in timekeepers and field watches.

    Which is why we’re so excited to bring you this particular timepiece: Made by Elgin Watch Company, it’s housed in a 30mm plated case with ‘holey’ lugs, an acrylic crystal, an oversize crown, and a beautiful profiled bezel. It features a cream dial stained by radium burn, a reminder of the incredible history underpinning the piece.

    Flip the watch over and it’s still possible to make out the incredible USMC marine corps designation that sets this watch apart from other incredible field watches. USMC watches are not common to find in general, and the combination of the Marine provenance with the age and Elgin branding makes this piece one of the best and rarest in the world of military timekeepers.

    This beauty is powered by an exceptional Caliber 532 manually wound movement, and features a dust cover to protect the integrity of the movement when in the trenches.

    Though it may be small by any contemporary measure, throw this little guy on with jeans and a t-shirt — maybe save the vintage military uniforms for the re-enactors! — and you’ll absolutely be the coolest guy at the party.
