RGM Model 501-EFB
RGM Watch Co. has revived the E.F. Bowman name with the Model 501-EFB, a wristwatch inspired by a 1920s Patek Philippe made for E.F. Bowman & Sons. This release connects RGM to a local Pennsylvania horological legacy, with the watch built on an existing platform but featuring details that evoke Bowman's historical timepieces.

The watch is based on an existing RGM platform, similar to a model produced with Teddy Baldassarre.
The white Grand Feu enamel dial and blued-steel hands for hours, minutes, and subseconds are inspired by a 1920s Patek Philippe pocket watch made for E.F. Bowman & Sons.
A railroad-style track runs the dial's periphery, with a smaller track for the recessed running seconds at 6 o'clock.
The Schwarz-Etienne ASE 200 micro-rotor movement features rhodium finishing, Côte de Genève, perlage, and a solid-gold micro-rotor plaque made by RGM engraved with 'Ezra F. Bowman'.
Gold or platinum case options can be ordered upon request.
The Model 501-EFB will debut during the Lancaster Watch Weekend.
