Scarce Elgin “Aztec” men’s Art Deco design wristwatch in nickel, circa 1931.

Elgin catalogued this watch as the “Senior 952,” but its fantastic geometric black-inlaid bezel designs reminiscent of the carvings on ancient Aztec temples in Mexico has caused most collectors to dub it the “Aztec.” It is a very difficult watch to find and among the most desirable of all Art Deco Elgin wristwatches. This example is in crisp mint condition with absolutely no wear. Enamel is perfect. The caseback is superb and unengraved. The case measures 35mm long and 25mm wide. Original dial is superb. Glass crystal is perfect. This watch is powered by its correct 7 jewel Elgin grade 488 movement.
