Elgé watches were often equipped with reliable Swiss movements, such as the ETA 2472 and A. Schild 1712, and featured designs that catered to both functionality and style. Their diver's watches, in particular, utilized the patented Super Compressor case design by EPSA (Ervin Piquerez S.A.), which enhanced water resistance as external pressure increased.
