While the movements inside are rock-solid, robust engines adjusted to a respectable 3 positions, the true showstoppers are those highly textured dials and exquisite guilloché work, showing the incredible craftsmanship of this historic manufacture.🌟 Collector’s Note: This exceptional vintage timekeeper was originally sold in the European market and was recently imported directly from Europe. Because it was never originally distributed through US channels, the movement is entirely free of the standard three-letter US import stamps required in the mid-century era. For the discerning collector, this means the watch remains in its original, pure European state, exactly as it left the Swiss manufacture—making it a rarer and highly desirable find. Please note that all contemporary US customs entry tariffs have been fully paid and cleared, ensuring a perfectly legal, documented, and hassle-free addition to your collection.⚙️ The Election Caliber 805 History

• Caliber 805 Heritage: This specific, oversized manual-wind movement (a 13-ligne caliber measuring roughly 29.35mm) was introduced by Election right around 1950. It is a highly respected engine that Election later passed on to Marvin and eventually Longines, where it evolved into the Longines Caliber 490.
• High-Grade Factory Adjustment: The 17 jewels and \"3 ADJS\" stamping indicate a higher-grade, highly precise version of the movement. Being adjusted to 3 positions means the watch was finely tuned by hand at the factory to maintain accurate timekeeping regardless of the physical angle it was resting in.
• The Modern Logo: This timepiece features the stylized lowercase \"e\" logo, which was part of Election\'s post-WWII modern rebranding campaign. It appears beautifully on their mid-century dials and movements alongside the classic \"Grand Prix\" stamping.

It is incredibly difficult to find these vintage oversized Election watches in such immaculate, fully serviced condition.🔍 Technical Specifications► CASE
