The Springfield 342 is the 342nd one-of-a-kind piece in Vortic's "Springfield" line of the American Artisan Series. This watch contains the original movement (timepiece), dial (face), and hands from a vintage (1880’s – 1950’s) pocket watch. The American Artisan Series is a line of fully American Made wristwatches powered by restored, U.S. made pocket watch movements.
What makes the Springfield 342 Unique: These blue-accented dials never cease to amaze us! They are each unique but all so eye-catching. This will be the third "blue" watch and they have all sold in a matter of minutes - so if you are thinking twice about this one, don't! Displaying thick, curled numerals in a navy that pops right off the slightly freckled dial, this watch is a stunning Conversation Piece. Naturally, we chose our machined titanium case and a Navy strap to accentuate the blue features in this watch. The movement is an Illinois Autocrat, another one of our favorites, produced in 1923. For the Disney fans out there, this movement was produced the year Roy and Walt Disney founded The Walt Disney Company. This watch definitely has a bit of that magic to it!
