Fascinating, a Bulova Accutron watch emblazoned with the name of a competitor watch manufacturer? I suspect the logo is from an organization not necessarily associated with the watch company. Do you know the origin of the watch?
I thought this was very curious when I saw it as well. Elgin is also a city in Illinois and there is one in Oregon as well. I wonder if it might have anything to do with either of those.
In reply to I thought this was very by Kathy L.
I thought the exact same thing Kathy. In fact I did a search on company badges (logos) containing the word 'Elgin'. I rather doubt it's the watch company but I don't see anything else.
There is also an Elgin TX. Like Geoff, I did a search of "Elgin Logo", but didn't find a match. A better photo of the logo might help if we can better see the design above "Elgin". Movement is a 219 series, 2192 being sweep second and date - crown at "4". I seem to remember reading someplace that the 219 is a 7 jewel movement, but can't confirm. Just thinking out loud. For the time being, all I can offer is: 1976 Bulova Accutron w/custom dial
It's a curious logo, definitely not the watch manufacturer.
I've looked through all the adverts on site. I see many that are close to matching but no direct hits
1976 Bulova Accutron Calendar
Style looks to be the same as the Accutron Calendar 'O'
I think you got it Ken. Accutron Calendar "O" looks like a match.
Wow, well done, Ken. I will agree,
1976 Accutron Calendar "O"
I looked at the O variant but decided against it based on the location of the word Accutron. I would be tentative on an "O" ID.
