Scarce Elgin “Oval” men’s Art Deco design wristwatch in 14K white gold fill, circa 1929.

This striking model was officially catalogued as the “Model 663,” although most collectors refer to it as the “Oval” model, due to its remarkable resemblance to the Hamilton “Oval” model. Indeed, the Elgin “Oval” and the Hamilton “Oval” were both produced by the Fahys Watch Case Co. It was priced at $48.00 in 1929. This example is in crisp, excellent condition with only one small spot of brassing to the bezel. Caseback is excellent and unengraved. Case measures 37mm long and 28mm wide. Refinished luminous dial is superb. Has new glass crystal. Movement is a 15-jewel Elgin grade 428.

(SOLD)
