The Elgin watch company has a tremendous heritage and history and are famous for making some of the most reliable and wearable divers watches of the 1960’s and 1970’s.
Formed in 1864 in the USA Elgin made high quality watches designed to compete with good quality Swiss watches on every level. Elgin watches were made to the highest quality and they strived throughout the 20th century to be the very best. Unfortunately Elgin went bust in the mid 1960’s and the brand was picked up by the Swiss, continuing the tradition of high quality watch making.
This Elgin diver is a remarkable watch, using an A Schild 1903 movement it is of the highest quality, schild movements are of such good quality that even Breguet used them in what is now one of the most valuable divers watches on the planet, the Breguet Marine 5827.
