The Art Deco font of the Arabic numerals pairs perfectly with its comparatively severe, angular bronze bezel. The proportions of the dial's center, seconds subdial, and brushed, gilt outer dial are perfectly balanced, and that balance is maintained throughout the rest of the piece by every component, including the thickness of the bezel and the dimensions of the bronze crown and the case's 45 mm body and 22 mm lugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sophisticated, golden dial decorations, stamped with vertical stripes in alternating patterns, are enclosed in an arc of leaves overtop the sunken seconds subdial with radially grooved texture. In an unconventional and special twist, the dial's signature reads Illinois Sterling, with the latter, the model's name, appearing directly below the brand name in the same size of serif font.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe model name is also reflected on the watch's two-tone double roller movement, engraved in cursive directly above the brand name on the bridge plate. All screws, as well as the regulator spring and balance-wheel, are gold-plated, and the movement has been decorated with circles radiating from the center jewel and elegant striping on the outer plates. The 17 jewel movement is in excellent condition despite its 98 years of age, and our expert watchmakers have serviced and regulated it to keep time and look fantastic for many years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe celebrate the timeless contrast of black and gold with our choice of an ebony top-grain leather strap made in America with leather from American cattle. The strap has a smooth texture on the outer side and a comfortable grain on the inside with ivory stitching. It is held in place by our study torx-head strap bars, machined right here in our workshop in downtown Fort Collins, Colorado.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough its dial and movement were produced in 1926, after a Vortic conversion, this level of class and craftsmanship will never go out of style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336512250157,"sku":null,"price":4800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/files\/Y--5j_zA.jpg?v=1717014176","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-springfield-070-45mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
