This watch is an amazing piece of history. Elgin Trench Watch circa 1916 with rare “red XII” dial. Original crystal, original crown, original dial. Sterling .925 case made by Keystone watch case company. This watch was acquired from the gentleman that wrote the book ELGIN TRENCH WATCHES OF THE GREAT WAR. it has been cleaned and serviced and had a new mainspring installed. It has been tested on a Timegraph 5000 for accuracy. I can tell you it keeps absolutely AMAZING TIME (as good as my Explorer). The strap is an era correct Kitchener Strap from Prairie Flower Leather Company sewn on a vintage WWI sewing machine. The crown has a nice pop when pulled. The gunmetal blue hands are striking in their beauty. Look at the pictures. Look at that MOVEMENT! This watch deserves to be worn and has been in my drawer since I purchased it in April. A piece of history like this need to be worn. I’m selling this amazing watch and hope the person that buys it gives it the wrist time it deserves. Price $765.00
