Illinois Watch Co. was in operation from 1869-1948 and produced some of the most renowned railroad-grade movements ever manufactured. Watches were produced in their factory in Springfield, Illinois.

This Illinois timepiece was crafted in Springfield, Illinois, in 1925. It is powered by a high-grade 12s movement featuring 21 jewels. The movement has undergone meticulous restoration and servicing, with special attention given to preserving the original golden hardware added by Illinois during its manufacture in 1925. The Illinois dial is an elegant Art Deco style, featuring geometric shapes and beautiful patterns, and is in excellent condition for its age. The hands have not been restored and are in their original heat-blued condition.

The timepiece is encased in a 316L stainless steel wristwatch conversion case, designed with adjustable lugs for easy winding and setting, ensuring a comfortable fit across various wrist sizes. The case includes front, back, and crown gaskets, providing water resistance up to 50 meters, though it is recommended to remove the watch before engaging in water activities. The timepiece comes fully serviced and ready for your future adventures.
