The Lord Elgin 7775 is a "Direct Read," or jump-hour, watch released in 1957 from Elgin's premium Lord Elgin line, its 14-karat yellow gold 31 mm case topped by a domed crystal that nearly conceals the dial beneath it, showing the hour and minute through small windows instead of hands. Its 21-jewel Elgin caliber 719 is manually wound. Elgin's Lord Elgin models were the company's high-end offerings through the mid-20th century, aimed at buyers who wanted the more unusual, conversation-piece complications a jump-hour display provided.
