With this piece, those elements come to life against a crisp white enamel dial, which features a sunken dial center and sub-seconds dial at 6 o’clock. Delicate fissures on the porcelain-like surface remind us that this pocket watch dial was originally crafted over a century ago, adding character and charm to an already classic design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInside, we’ve preserved an original 17-jewel Illinois movement from 1911 in its original hunting case format, where its crown sits at 3 o’clock rather than 12. The movement boasts beautiful bridgework, polished details, and masterful engraving that speaks to the expert craftsmanship of early 20th-century American horology.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe’ve housed this movement in a sandblasted titanium case, featuring a matching sandblasted coin-edge bezel and a knurled crown. The camel-colored leather strap adds warmth to the overall aesthetic and balances the polished textures of the hardware. With its 45mm presence, Springfield 128 is a bold, refined tribute to its era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1911, American innovation continued to shape the world, with the first airmail flight in the U.S. taking place that year in Long Island, New York. As aviation took to the skies, Illinois Watch Company was hard at work perfecting precision timepieces like this one—both engineering achievements that redefined their industries.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50629241864493,"sku":null,"price":3300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/files\/VORTIC-SPRINGFIELD-WOTD2025-03-128_29893_b06d6c89-0b16-4da2-b86f-de9ee838678f.jpg?v=1744749595","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-springfield-128-45mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
