Step into the 1950s with this VINTAGE Elgin De Luxe "Shockmaster." Representing the pinnacle of Mid-Century American watchmaking, this timepiece was built to be the "modern" man's daily driver—rugged, precise, and stylish.

This model features the famous DuraPower (dp) mainspring, which Elgin famously marketed as "the mainspring that never breaks," along with the Shockmaster balance protection system. The dial has aged into a beautiful, honest "champagne" patina that tells the story of its 70-year history. Housed in a 10K Gold Filled case with stylized "teardrop" lugs, it is powered by the workhorse Grade 647 manual wind movement. A true American classic for the vintage horology enthusiast.

Key Details:

  • Era: c. 1951 – 1953 (Mid-Century Modern)
  • Maker: Elgin National Watch Co. (U.S.A.)
  • Case Material: 10K Gold Filled (Hallmarked)
  • Movement: Grade 647, 17-Jewel Manual Wind
  • Technology: DuraPower Mainspring (dp logo) & Shockmaster Protection
  • Strap: Premium Black Lizard-Grain Leather
  • Serial Number: S37601

Important Note: This timepiece is in excellent "as-found" vintage condition and is currently working. The dial shows a warm, consistent patina and the 10K gold-filled case retains its sharp, original lines. As with all mechanical vintage watches, a professional cleaning and service is recommended to ensure long-term timekeeping accuracy.
