What makes the Springfield 470 unique: Today, we are proud to present this remarkable piece from the Illinois Watch Company — the Springfield 470. Originally manufactured in 1923 by the Illinois Watch Company, the Springfield 470 features a smooth watch face design, stylish type numbers, and a clear display case that reveals the intricate stainless steel gears with bronze details. The ivory dial complements the ebony hands spectacularly, and our Machined Titanium case preserves the history of this exquisite piece with its incredibly durable and scratch-resistant coating. Powered by 23 ruby and sapphire jewels, this 410-grade timepiece is a masterpiece. Lastly, our Cordovan Black leather strap brings the whole piece together. This watch was originally produced in Springfield, Illinois, in 1923 — the same year that Jack Dempsey beat Tommy Gibbons over 15 hard-fought rounds in Shelby, Montana, to retain the world heavyweight boxing title. Tommy Gibbons took Jack Dempsey to all 15 rounds, and Dempsey won by decision.
