What makes the Springfield 355 Unique: We love a classic white dial with black numerals, a staple for any watch lover. You'll find some hairline fractures to the white dial in between some of the rounded, curly numerals and we leave these on purpose! Although we do clean up the dials, we do not repair cracks, chips, etc. in order to truly preserve this piece of history as is. There is a story to be told behind a movement like this, produced in 1922 it is now over 100 years old. We love the "kite" style hands with the diamond shaped tips and although many of the dials have blue steel hands, this watch boasts a purple steel! We love the look of the machined titanium case paired with the round gold crown but our favorite feature of this watch is the pin stripes on this movement! A very unique design, this 21jewel movement was produced by the Illinois Watch Company in Springfield hence why we call it our "Springfield" model.
