Accurate Timekeeping

With a day difference of just 20 seconds (according to approximate measurements), the Elgin Wristwatch provides reliable timekeeping. It's important to note that the daily difference may vary slightly depending on factors such as posture and the winding condition of the mainspring. Therefore, please consider the provided measurement as a reference.

Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Elgin Wristwatch, a few essential maintenance and care guidelines should be followed:

  1. Setting the Time and Winding: Before wearing the watch on your wrist, make sure to set the time and wind it. This practice prevents applying excessive pressure on the watch while winding it on your hand.

  2. Regular Cleaning: Keep your watch, excluding leather straps, clean by regularly wiping it with a soft cloth. This helps maintain its pristine appearance and prevents the accumulation of dirt and dust.

  3. Avoid Extreme Conditions: Protect your watch from extreme temperature changes, moisture, direct sunlight, and strong magnetic fields. Exposure to these elements can potentially damage the delicate mechanisms of the timepiece.

Please take the time to read the entire description provided above carefully before making a purchase. We strive to ensure transparency and want to ensure that you have a comprehensive understanding of the watch's condition and characteristics before proceeding.

It's important to note that there may be small scratches on the watch that are not visible in the provided photos. If you understand and accept these points, we welcome you to make a purchase. Please bear in mind that this is an old watch, and if you are seeking perfection, it may not meet your expectations.
