ELGIN, exceptional diving watch from the US Navy, USN Buships, ca. 1950. Stainless steel. D 32 mm. Reference No.: U.S.N. Case No.: 49 C, two-part, screwed case No. 2601578, with mineral glass and screwed crown protection, additional inner protective cover Dial: Black dial, with radium luminous numerals and luminous hands, signed: ELGIN USN Buships Movement: Hand-wound movement with central seconds No. T435865, Cal. Elgin 539 with 15 jewels, screw balance and Breguet balance spring Band: Leather band with steel tang buckle Accessories: None This military watch has several special features: The case consists of two parts made of stainless steel and has a matte, non-reflective surface, but the most striking feature is the large crown protection cover. This cover is connected to the middle part of the case via a three-part connection and is screwed over the winding crown. To ensure water resistance, the watch glass is fitted with a lead seal. The dial is matte black with Arabic numerals; the brand name ‘Elgin’ and the trademark are printed in glossy black under the 12, and the lettering ‘USN BUSHIPS’ is printed in glossy black above the 6. BUSHIPS is the abbreviation for the US Navy's Bureau of Ships. Since the imprint is black on black, it is only visible at certain angles. The dial has a small section between 7 and 8 o'clock made of a special material. This changes colour when exposed to moisture, informing the user that the watch is no longer water-resistant and needs to be repaired immediately. ------------------------------------------------- ELGIN, aussergewφhnliche Taucheruhr der US-Navy, USN Buships, ca. 1950 Edelstahl.
