Capture the bold aesthetic of post-war Americana with this exceptional vintage Lord Elgin drivers watch. Designed during the peak of mid-century automotive enthusiasm, this mechanical watch features an ingenious articulating swivel lug system that allows the rectangular case to tilt comfortably on the side of the wrist, letting drivers check the time without taking their hands off the steering wheel.
The watch features a highly architectural 14K gold-filled case adorned with a distinctively tiered, ribbed gadroon trim along the top and bottom edges. Framed by this art deco bezel is a pristine matte silver dial featuring applied gold index lines, classic Roman numerals at the 3, 9, and 12 positions, and a square sub-seconds register neatly anchored at 6 o’clock.
Flipping the timepiece over, the flush-fitting, brush-finished gold-filled back integrates smoothly against the wrist, ensuring a remarkably sleek, low-profile fit. Completing this upscale vintage presentation is a premium, custom handmade snake leather strap expertly contrast-stitched by CWM, highlighting the timeless luxury appeal of this iconic American collectible.
