1917 Elgin Trench Watch

I bought this from trench watch historian Stan Czubernat. It is a 1917 Elgin trench watch with a 9K sold gold Keystone case. Note the coin edge bezel, which makes it a bit unusual among trench watches. It uses a 7 jewel, size 3/0s, grade 462 movement. It has an enamel dial with a bold Arabic military design. The reproduction leather Kitchener strap has a 9K buckle to match the case.
