The short answer

The closest alternative to the Vortic Watch Company Springfield 078 is the NOMOS Glashütte Zürich ($4,930) — looks nearly identical and Sapphire. If price is the constraint, the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente at $2,620 (vs $5,500 for the Springfield 078) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vortic Watch Company Springfield 173 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Illinois Watch Co.) and Same family (Springfield). Stepping up, the Blancpain Métiers d'Art Grande Décoration ($83,200) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
