Elgin B.W. Raymond Railroad Pocket Watch 1928 | 21 Jewel | Wind Indicator Dial | 16 Size

Offered here is a classic example of American railroad precision—the vintage Elgin National Watch Company B.W. Raymond railroad pocket watch, dating to circa 1928.

The B.W. Raymond grade is one of Elgin’s most respected and enduring models, built to meet the demanding standards of railroad service. This example features a 21 jewel movement with a robust ¾-plate design, lever escapement, and lever-set function—ensuring both accuracy and reliability.

A particularly desirable feature is the wind indicator dial, a unique and practical complication that allows the user to track the remaining mainspring wind—an uncommon detail that adds both functionality and collector appeal.
