Vintage 1970s Elgin SA Swiss mechanical hunter-case pocket watch featuring a gold-tone base metal case. The front lid showcases a highly detailed embossed steam locomotive train motif, while the back cover features a textured weave pattern. The watch case houses an internal stamp reading "ELGIN SA SWITZERLAND BASE METAL" alongside reference number "WM 138 6498 8019". The white Montgomery-style railroad dial displays bold black Arabic numeral hour tracks, an outer numerical minute track with individual numbers from 1 to 60, a prominent printed red 60-second marker, a sunken sub-seconds register above the 6 position, and matching black baton hands. The watch is powered by a Swiss-made, unadjusted manual-wind Elgin caliber movement built with a 17 jewels configuration, paired with a matching gold-tone stylized S-link watch chain featuring a decorative book-style locket fob.This mechanical pocket watch is running as of the time of listing, though a professional service is required for accurate timekeeping, and extended runtime without service is not guaranteed.
