The Springfield 361 is the 361st 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 361 Unique: We're back with another Santa Fe Special, produced by the Illinois Watch Company in 1923. These unique pieces always go quickly, with the bright yellow dial, the bold black numerals, and the inscription of "Santa Fe Special". We chose our machined titanium case to allow the dial to be the focal point but our round gold crown helps to accentuate the yellow tones. We can guess this dial and movement likely have always been together as the movement also has the engraving of "Santa Fe Special" which we don't always see. This movement boasts 21jewels and is also a "Double Roller". This combination is truly unique and we would love to hear the story of who's wrist this watch ends up on!
