Vintage Elgin and Bulova Ladies Wristwatches

This set features two distinct ladies' wristwatches from established American brands, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. The watch on the left is a Bulova, featuring a small, octagonal case with a gold-tone dial and a textured, integrated silver-tone mesh band. The dial displays simple bar hour markers and the Bulova logo. The watch on the right is an Elgin model with a larger, rounded case and a more contemporary two-tone (silver and gold) finish. It features a gold-tone sunburst dial with a date window at the 3 o'clock position and is marked 'Water Resistant.' The bracelet on the Elgin is a chunky, decorative link style in a matching two-tone design. Both watches show signs of light wear consistent with age, including very fine surface scratches on the metal and crystals. The Bulova's band shows some minor distortion in the mesh, while both pieces appear to be in good aesthetic condition overall. These pieces represent the transition from delicate dress watches to more robust daily-wear timepieces and showcase mid-century quartz or manual-wind craftsmanship.
