From the brand: What makes the Springfield 120 unique:
Time has left its signature on this Springfield 120, a stunning testament to early American watchmaking. The aged dial tells its story through faded numerals and a softened minute track, subtle reminders of a century’s passage. A gold-toned sub-seconds dial stands out beautifully, offering a warm contrast to the rest of the dial’s patina. The look is completed with blued steel hands, providing both clarity and an elegant vintage touch.
At the heart of this timepiece is a 17-jewel Illinois Watch Company movement, manufactured in 1916. Adorned with Geneva stripes and gold-plated gears, this movement is a true work of craftsmanship. The “Autocrat” engraving on the bridges is a defining feature, marking this as part of a premium series of Illinois movements known for their reliability and precision.
Encased in our stainless steel case, this watch is built for longevity while staying true to its origins. A coin-edge bezel frames the dial, a classic detail inspired by traditional pocket watches, while the textured crown allows for precise winding. Paired with a tan leather strap, this watch maintains a rugged yet refined character.
This timepiece was originally crafted in 1916, the same year that Boeing was founded in Seattle, Washington. What began as a small airplane company that year would eventually grow into one of the most influential aerospace manufacturers in the world, shaping the future of aviation—just as these early American watchmakers helped shape the future of horology.
