FS: Vintage Elgin Day/Date Diver

For sale is a near-mint condition Elgin diver likely from the 1960's.

The nearly perfect case measures 36mm across (39mm including the bezel and crown), 46mm lug to lug, and 12mm thick. Lugs are 19mm wide. It is one of the classic dive watch cases used in the Sixties and Seventies.

Included in the sale is a red/green bezel and green Tropic strap that came from a different Elgin. The red/green bezel is also in near-mint condition and is 100% correct for the watch. These shipped with either the orange/black or red/green bezel.

The automatic-winding PUW 1463 movement was fully serviced in March 2014. It runs flawlessly. The day/date is not quickset but rather the date is set by moving the minutes hand between 9 and 12 o'clock. The day of the week follows, so one needs to figure out where the day should be with the date in advance.

Price is EUR 985 by bank transfer and includes shipping within the UK. Payment by PayPal and shipping outside the EU are possible.

The black Tropic strap pictured is not included in the sale.
