What makes the Chicago 076 unique: The dial of this stunning Chicago 076 is a true standout, featuring an elegant fancy dial design. The center is finished in a soft, muted green, surrounded by an intricate outer track adorned with gold filigree flourishes and bold black numerals. These dials were once a hallmark of early 20th-century craftsmanship, produced in limited quantities for those seeking a more ornate and luxurious aesthetic. Paired with gold Fleur-de-Lis hands and a sub-seconds dial at six oclock, this piece carries an undeniable vintage charm. Inside, the Elgin movement powering this watch is a masterpiece of American horology. This 17-jewel movement from 1916 showcases beautifully intricate damascening, a signature decorative engraving style that enhances the movements bridges. The precision-cut gears and deep gold-plated elements add another level of visual appeal, reflecting the detailed artistry of Elgins manufacturing at the time. Encased in our machined steel case, this watch maintains a refined yet rugged presence at 45mm. The smooth machined steel bezel enhances the watchs elegant design, while the bronze vertical-grooved crown offers a striking contrast. Completing the look is a rich chocolate leather strap, complementing the warm gold tones throughout the piece. In 1916, Elgin was at the peak of its innovation, helping drive precision watchmaking in the U.S. The same year, the National Park Service was officially established, ensuring the preservation of Americas most treasured landscapes for generations to come. Just as these parks safeguard natural history, this timepiece preserves a legacy of craftsmanship from Americas golden age of watchmaking.
