An Authentic Military Watch from World War II

Made in the 1940s for the Ordnance Department of the U.S. Army, this vintage Elgin military watch is a true piece of history. Used by American soldiers during World War II, it was designed to offer legibility, durability, and reliability in the field.

Its original dial, aged over time, features large Arabic numerals and an offset seconds hand at 6 o'clock. The metal case, marked "ORD. DEPT. U.S.A.", is typical of the military specifications of the era. Its fixed lugs allow for the attachment of a sturdy strap, like the hand-sewn leather one we have added.

This watch houses a manual winding mechanical movement produced by Elgin, one of the main suppliers to the U.S. Army. Each piece was rigorously inspected to meet the demands of the armed forces.

Ideal for collectors of military watches or history enthusiasts, this Elgin watch represents much more than a timepiece: it is a direct witness to the war effort and American watchmaking engineering of the mid-20th century.
