  • 16 Jewels Hand Winding 539 movement with “Hack Set Feature”.
  • Movement marked: Elgin 539 - T147166 - USA 16 Jewels 
  • The watch case shows wear with qite a lot of "brassing" Note the "machined" top and bottom surface. 
  • The band is not probably not original to the watch.
  • Excepting the band, this watch appears to be all original. Note the "yellow" cast to the dial. We believe this is a result of what is probably the original lens having "yellowed" with time. In our opinion, this only adds to the romance of the piece. The lens has many tiny scratch or stress lines, but no breaks or cracks.
  • The dial and hands are in fine condition.
  • The 539 movement is in very clean condition and note the original "gun metal" finish parts are intact.
