The short answer

The closest alternative to the Vortic Watch Company Springfield 168 is the Bell & Ross BR 01 INSTRUMENT DE MARINE ($8,532) — looks nearly identical and Sector dial. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton American Classic Intra-Matic Auto at $1,275 (vs $4,600 for the Springfield 168) 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 IWC Schaffhausen Iw510107 Portofino Hand Wound Eight Days ($24,200) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
