1950'S ELGIN DIRECT READ "GOLF BALL " MENS MIDSIZE DIGITAL JUMP HOUR WATCH - 10K GOLD FILLED & STAINLESS STEEL
This Elgin jump-hour watch is unique and interesting for a couple of reasons. It is a digital display, but it also has that unusual “dimpled” face from which get’s its “Golf Ball” nickname. It runs on a manual Elgin cal 717 movement with a 31mm gold-filled (10ct) case
For a over a century, Elgin watches kept America on time and became the most prolific American watch maker. Once worn by Buffalo Bill Cody, President Warren G. Harding, and Babe Ruth, the company's timepieces continue to be cherished as family heirlooms and special examples are collected by those who appreciate American watches.
Very cool vintage direct read Lord Elgin. These futuristic watches which utilized a mechanical digital display for the hours and minutes were fully "American Made". They have a great futuristic yet vintage look.
