Basic Info Listing code : Q78086 Brand : Elgin Movement : Manual winding Year of production : 1950 (Approximation) Condition : Used (Very good) Scope of delivery : No original box, no original papers Location : Spain Price : 711 Availability : Item is in stock Caliber Movement : Manual winding Case Case diameter : 32 x 38 mm ELGIN U.S. Military Watch (Spec. No. 94-27834-B, c. 1943-1945) What I love about it: - It’s extremely rare to find a WWII-period military watch in such well-preserved condition, especially with a dial this clean after almost 80 years. It was produced for the U.S. Army Air Forces under the military specification 94-27834-B, which makes it a meaningful historical piece from the WW2 era. - The watch is designed with simplicity and high legibility: bold Arabic numerals, a precise sub-seconds display for tracking time accurately, and luminous markers that still glow faintly in the dark. Specifications: Year: circa 1943-1945 Size: 32mm (excluding crown) Movement: Manual-wind mechanical (runs fine but, currently slightly fast) Crystal: Acrylic Strap: new Olive NATO strap Condition: Perfect dial, which is exceptionally rare for a military watch of this age. Some scratches on the acrylic crystal and minor signs of age. The deeply stamped military engraving on the caseback corresponds to a WWII-period procurement specification.
