The Springfield 362 is the 362nd one-of-a-kind piece in Vortic's "Springfield" line of the American Artisan Series. This watch contains the original movement (timepiece), dial (face), and hands from a vintage (1880’s – 1950’s) pocket watch. The American Artisan Series is a line of fully American Made wristwatches powered by restored, U.S. made pocket watch movements.
What makes the Springfield 362 Unique: We love the classic look of this Illinois Watch company dial and movement. Manufactured in 1923 and with 17jewels, this Autocrat movement is in beautiful shape and has a subtle concentric circle engraving. The art deco numbers and the gold decor in the center are very traditional for this time period. We chose our DLC black case and black strap to accent the dial and its design. The raw copper crown will patina beautifully over time and add a layer of uniqueness. Did you know the same year this movement was manufactured The Hollywood Sign was inaugurated in California? It originally reading Hollywoodland!
