Lord Elgin Shockmaster Men's Watch
Sold by Blue Moon Estate Sales - Kalamazoo/lakeshore
$1.00
This is a vintage Lord Elgin Shockmaster men's wristwatch, likely from the mid-20th century, featuring a cream-colored dial with applied gold-tone hour markers and dauphine hands. The dial is signed "LORD ELGIN" and "SHOCKMASTER". The watch case appears to be chrome-plated or stainless steel, with a flexible metal band that has a textured pattern. The case back is engraved with "D.H. Green 1955 Otsego Falls staff". The "Shockmaster" designation indicates that the watch movement is equipped with shock protection, a common feature in watches of this era designed to protect the delicate movement from damage due to impacts.
This particular watch exhibits signs of age and wear consistent with its vintage nature. The engraving on the case back suggests it was a gift or award presented in 1955 to D.H. Green, likely an employee of the Otsego Falls company. The overall aesthetic is classic and functional, representative of mid-century American watchmaking.
