The Illinois Finalist is a highly collectible Art Deco men's wristwatch produced around 1931 by the Illinois Watch Company (shortly after being acquired by Hamilton). This timepiece features an iconic rectangular silhouette with bold geometric skyscraper aesthetics. The luminous Arabic numeral dial and distinct railroad-track outer minute chapter rings exudes characteristics of the late Art Deco era. The case is white gold-filled measuring roughly 23mm wide x 38mm in overall length. Powered by a premium manual-wind Illinois grade 207 mechanical movement with 17 jewels, this recently serviced watch set and winds smoothly keeping great time over a 24 hour test period. The inside back case reads: 196 Illinois Watch, Springfield, 14K Gold Filled, Wadsworth Quality, 8330056.
