For sale is this Elgin WW2 Military Issued Watch, a genuine piece of history ready for its next chapter. This classic timepiece embodies the practical and sturdy design required of watches issued during the era of conflict. The watch features a compact 30mm case (likely chrome-plated base metal) which was the standard size for military issue watches. The dial has acquired a warm, beautiful yellow/patina color consistent with its age, giving it immense vintage character. The highly legible aged black Arabic numerals are bold and easy to read, with a functional seconds sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position to aid in precise timekeeping. While currently offered as a watch head (no band), its 18mm lug width makes it simple to pair with your choice of military canvas or leather strap. This timepiece is a fascinating and dependable relic, needing only a strap to be brought back to life on the wrist. **Key Features** * **Brand:** Elgin * **Model:** WWII Military / Field Watch (Watch Head Only) * **Era:** World War II (WWII) * **Case Size:** **30mm** (excluding crown) * **Lug Width:** 18mm * **Case Material:** Base Metal (Chrome-plated/Steel Back) * **Dial:** Yellow/Patina with Arabic numerals * **Complications:** Seconds Sub Dial at 6 o'clock * **Movement:** Automatic (Self-Winding) * **Condition:** Honest vintage condition, showing wear on the case and patina on the dial consistent with age and military use.
