Yet again, we see a beautiful movement that was likely originally housed in a six-sided case, as opposed to a standard round. We love the design on this dial face combined with these aged gothic hands and classic Arabic numerals. The copper and gold elements throughout this watch contrast nicely with this sandblasted titanium case and nickel finish on the build plates. Gold-plated gears and 17 screw-set jewels complete the look and give this watch a clean and vibrant look. Our oxblood cordovan strap completes the look with a soft and elegant feel. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis watch was originally produced by the Illinois Watch Company in Springfield, Illinois in 1927. In this same year, Charles Lindbergh became the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. On May 20th, he took off from Long Island, New York, in a single-engine plane called the Spirit of St. Louis, and 33 hours later he landed in Paris. His daring feat captivated the world and made him an international celebrity. He was awarded the Medal of Honor and the French Legion of Honor for his accomplishment. Lindbergh's flight was a pivotal moment in aviation history, and it opened the door for faster and more efficient air travel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44399992045869,"sku":null,"price":2300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/SPRINGFIELD-WOTD2023-01-30-579_0896.jpg?v=1675205826","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-springfield-579-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
