What makes the Springfield 476 unique: Today, we are proud to present this remarkable piece from the Illinois Watch Company — the Springfield 476. Originally manufactured in 1930 by the Illinois Watch Company, the Springfield 476 features a stunning dial design, gold-type numbers, and a clear display case that reveals the intricate stainless steel gears with bronze details. The artwork on the dial border is separated into four segments and serves as a placeholder for the 3-hour increments in our day. The contrast of the dial complements the blue hands wonderfully, and our Machined Titanium case preserves the history of this exquisite piece. Powered by 21 jewels, this 121-grade timepiece is a very unique and rare Santa Fe Special, named for the Sante Fe Railroad line. Lastly, our Mojave leather strap brings the whole piece together. This watch was originally produced in Springfield, Illinois, in 1930 — the same year that the 1st diesel engine automobile trip was completed. This trip was a marketing tactic used to promote the diesel engine by mounting the engine in a used Packard Touring Car and driving it to the National Automobile Show.
