Why This Watch Matters

This Eloga is much more than a triple calendar as it also displays all the days of the current month.

The Full Story

Founded in 1917, Eloga was known for making trustworthy ladies’ and sport wristwatches. With this model, it even went into complications; this example features a triple calendar with a smart display of the entire month. The design was so clear that it was actually patented, hence the Brevet mention on the dial. The caseback confirms some of the other appealing qualities of this watch, as it is stamped anti-magnetic and waterproof. Despite its functionality, this Eloga remains very elegant on the wrist.

What we Love and What You Should Know

The patented calendar mechanism works great, and the dial does not show any major aging signs. The luminous hand and indexes still show some faint glowing when exposed to light, and definitely make our Geiger counter bip. The case might only be plated, but it has remained in a spectacular condition with sharp lugs. Note that both crowns are unsigned, and it is possible that the winding crown was replaced at some point.
