What makes the Springfield 468 unique: Today, we are proud to present this spectacular piece from the Illinois Watch Company — the Springfield 468. Originally manufactured in 1922 by the Illinois Watch Company, the Springfield 468 features a speckled watch face design, bold type numbers, and a clear display case that reveals the intricate, stainless steel gears with bronze details. The textured dial gives the watch a more lustrous appeal. Our Machined Titanium case brings out the cobalt blue hands of the watch remarkably. Powered by 19 jewels, this 406-grade timepiece has an incredibly durable and scratch-resistant coating to preserve the history of this exquisite piece. Lastly, our Coal leather strap brings the whole piece together and pairs nicely with the Machined Titanium. This watch was originally produced in Springfield, Illinois, in 1922 — the same year that the 1st living person, Thomas E. Kirby, was identified on a U.S. coin. The Alabama Centennial half-dollar, in exceptional condition, would be worth more than $10,000 today.
