What makes the Springfield 467 unique: Today we are very pleased to present to you this absolutely stunning antique piece from the Illinois Watch Company, our Springfield 467. We are immediately drawn in by the aged look of this dial, with subtle wear around the numerals that are to be expected from a watch that is over 100 years old. The gold-colored design work on the inner portion of the dial brings a nice amount of contrast from the machined titanium case and works well with our copper crown. An oxblood cordovan strap and copper hardware finish off the fine details and complete this vintage look. As we turn the watch over to reveal the movement inside, we are pleasantly surprised by this gorgeous Autocrat movement. 17 jewels stand out beautifully and draw your attention to the precious metal gears that turn beneath. A lovely radial pattern all across the different build plates has been carefully machined to show off the level of craftsmanship available at this time. This watch was originally produced by the Illinois Watch Company in 1922 in Springfield, Illinois. Also in 1922, the USS Langley is commissioned as the first United States Navy aircraft carrier.
