These hunting-configuration pocket watch cases featured a special mechanized crown that could be pressed to activate a spring-loaded hinge that would open a solid metal cover over the watch's face and dial. The cover was intended to protect the watch's crystal in sporting endeavors like hunting or other high-intensity activities that a gentleman of that day might find himself participating in.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-stringify-type=\"paragraph-break\" class=\"c-mrkdwn__br\" aria-label=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Rockford takes the theme of an early-20th-century tool watch and runs with it; its steel case, finished with a durable, matte-textured DLC coating, and its crown featuring our chunkier square knurling gives the watch an aggressive and tactical personality that exists side-by-side with classical features like this its elegant white enamel dial with the flowing script of the Rockford logo, the sophisticated, serif font of the Arabic numerals, the slender heat-blued moon hands, and the sturdy, top-grain leather oxblood Cordovan strap. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-stringify-type=\"paragraph-break\" class=\"c-mrkdwn__br\" aria-label=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIts triple-bridged movement, in alignment with its lesser-seen hunting configuration, is finished with a wonderfully uncommon pattern of undulating stripes and 3 styles of perlage under the balance wheel and between the smaller bridges. It is far more than a pretty face, as it boasts 21 jewels and a double roller escapement. It was a masterpiece when it was created in 1914 and has stood the test of time, enabling it to be worn and celebrated by this generation. It is now preserved and protected and will surely be admired for generations to come.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49468221948205,"sku":null,"price":4400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/files\/VORTIC-ROCKFORD-2024-06_WOTD-005_20650.jpg?v=1718292735","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-rockford-005-45mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
