We really enjoy the contrast of the different tones of this gold-colored dial to the dark black strap, matching our gold-plated crown. These dark numerals and complimenting minute indicators around the outer edge stand out nicely on the soft feel of the double-sunk dial. Our machined titanium case adds to the classy feel of this watch, sure to grab the attention of anyone who sees it. The details on the inside of this movement are absolutely stunning, showing off the true craftsmanship of the era. Intricately machined all throughout the bridge plate to display this radial outward pattern, accented by 17 screw-set jewels. Rose gold gears and a brass balance wheel can be seen hiding beneath the bridge plate, as well as the Autocrat badge, one of Illinois high-end timepieces. This watch was originally manufactured by the Illinois Watch Company in Springfield, Illinois in 1923. This was the same year that the very first 24 hours of Lemans took place in France, won by André Lagache and René Léonard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"mvmnt-year-initial\"\u003e1923\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"mvmnt-serial-initial\"\u003e4462585\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39472091889742,"sku":null,"price":3000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/2021-08-24-4599.jpg?v=1629829832","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-springfield-425-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
