Elgin Ordnance Department — U.S. Military-Issue

An Elgin made for the United States Army Ordnance Department — a genuine piece of American military history that spent its working life in the hands of the people who kept the Army's weapons running. Elgin was one of the great American watchmakers, and their military-contract pieces are among the most historically significant they produced. The Ord Dept designation confirms this was issued, not purchased. It has seen things. Pre-owned and running.
