About the Watch

This Elgin Ref. 713C is a remarkable 1940s timepiece from the World War II era, carrying with it an unusually compelling piece of wartime history. The caseback is engraved “NR. 5,” believed to have been added by German soldiers to identify the soldier to whom the watch belonged after his capture.

That simple engraving transforms the watch from a vintage timepiece into a tangible artifact of history. A watch that has not only kept time, but has carried a story through it.
