What makes the Springfield 581 unique:
Introducing the Springfield 581, a stunning wristwatch conversion featuring a 1926 Illinois Watch Company pocket watch. The 23-jewel movement within this timepiece, originally referred to as a part of “The Lifetime Series”, rotates striking blue hands around a luxurious hand-engraved dial. We’ve accented this distinguished piece with our gilded titanium case, knurled nickel crown, and classic black leather strap. This truly is a majestic release from Vortic’s American Artisan Series. 

This watch is part of a special release because this movement takes the term “rare” to an entirely new level. Not only is it marked “The Lifetime Series,” something we’ve not seen before, but it was also already one of the rarest 12size movements the Illinois Watch Company produced as it’s marked “adjusted to 6 positions” which was a quality assurance measure typically only seen on the high-end Railroad Grade mechanisms. It also features 23 jewels, which by itself is something not typically seen in these smaller pocket watches. Our watchmakers ran out of ways to explain why this one is so special, and they’ve seen it all!
