The short answer

The closest alternative to the Vortic Watch Company Springfield 173 is the RGM Watches Model 222-RR ($8,950) — looks nearly identical and Sector dial. If price is the constraint, the Stowa Marine Original Bronze Vintage covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vortic Watch Company Springfield 168 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.
