Elgin Octagonal Dial Word-Numbered Women's Wristwatch

The item is a women's wristwatch, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, with a distinctive octagonal silver-toned metal case. The watch features a light-colored, possibly cream or light silver, dial with the hour markers represented by stylized cursive English word spellings for the numbers one through twelve, rather than traditional numerals or indices. For example, 'One', 'Two', 'Three', etc., are visible. The hands are dark and appear to be simple baton or sword-style, contrasting against the light dial. The brand name, 'ELGIN', is clearly visible on the upper half of the dial. The watch is attached to a polished silver-toned metal bracelet with a unique link design, possibly an integrated bracelet, that flows seamlessly from the watch lugs. The links appear to be relatively wide and substantial. The overall condition of the watch appears to be good with a visible shine, suggesting minimal wear or well-maintained surfaces. There are no obvious signs of significant damage such as deep scratches, cracks, or heavy discoloration on the case or bracelet, though minor surface wear consistent with age and use may be present. The design indicates a fashion-forward piece, prioritizing aesthetics and a unique presentation of time over purely traditional watchmaking. The craftsmanship appears solid for a standard fashion watch, reflecting a mass-produced quality.
