The Chicago 300 (47mm) Comfortable Cheap Pice

The Chicago 300 is the 300th one-of-a-kind piece in Vortic’s “Chicago” 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 Chicago 300 Unique: A rather unique style of dial with both the coloring and the numeral styles. The elegant golden dial features crisp black Roman Numerals, which are enhanced by the matte black DLC titanium case and Stout leather straps. We love the truly antique look of this dial, with the texture of the dial looking like an aged piece of parchment paper. The style of this dial almost gives us a pirate-like feel! This 17jewel Elgin movement was produced in 1924, the same year The Wrigley Building in Chicago, Illinois was completed.⠀
