Veritas, the Latin word for "truth," became synonymous with one of the Elgin National Watch Company's most successful designs in history. The company enjoyed widespread name recognition for its Veritas models and their reputation as Elgin's highest-grade watches.  This Elgin Grade 376 Model Veritas, manufactured in 1915, is one of 9,000 ever made, placing it deep in the ultra-rare territory. Rarer still is the Up/Down wind indicator featured on this watch because only a handful was manufactured with this feature. Plus, as a high-end watch, it was crafted using the finest materials available coupled with exceptional craftsmanship. The burnished plates and exquisite finishing details present on this timepiece places it in a league of its own. The railroad grade movement is housed in a stunning Illinois Watch Case Company model Supreme Bulldog Case featuring a rich yellow gold fill. The Bulldog case is known for its heavy-duty construction, solidly protecting the movement while remaining beautiful in its design and the fine details decorating it. The watch is faced with a rare Montgomery dial with the Up/Down indicator and vivid Arabic numerals presented in bold, heavy ink. Function, craftsmanship, and artistic design merge to make this Elgin Grade 376 Model Veritas one of the most stunning pocket watches ever made. You can feel the weight of history and the power of the endless flow of time when you hold this watch in your hand. Elgin's Veritas watches are highly sought by collectors and railroad enthusiasts, and a chance to own one in such excellent condition is a fleeting opportunity.
