Its parchment-toned dial carries a soft patina, with gentle variations that speak to more than a century of history. Bold gold numerals circle the display, each slightly raised above the surface, while slender blued steel spade-and-whip hands bring elegant contrast—shifting from deep navy to bright cobalt beneath the domed crystal. A recessed sub-seconds dial at 6 o’clock completes the composition, reflecting the measured precision of early American craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"841\" data-end=\"1226\"\u003eInside, this watch houses a 17-jewel Illinois Stewart movement originally manufactured in 1917. The bridges feature intricate scalloped engraving that adds both texture and structural refinement. Between these curved forms, rose-gold-toned gears glint against polished steel components—an interplay of warm and cool tones that showcases the artistry of American horology at its peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1228\" data-end=\"1674\"\u003eEncased in stonewashed stainless steel, the design is both rugged and refined. Its notched bezel subtly echoes the scalloped bridgework of the movement, uniting form and function in perfect symmetry. A knurled sandblasted-steel crown offers tactile precision, while a warm leather strap provides an inviting, timeless finish. Together, these elements capture the balance between history and modern craftsmanship that defines every Vortic build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1676\" data-end=\"1957\"\u003eIn 1917, the world heard the first jazz recording—a distinctly American sound that would shape culture for generations. The Springfield 131 carries that same spirit of originality and rhythm, transforming antique engineering into a contemporary expression of American innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50674017861933,"sku":null,"price":2600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/files\/VORTIC-SPRINGFIELD-WOTD_2025-03-131.jpg?v=1745506802","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-springfield-131-45mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
