The short answer

The closest alternative to the Vortic Watch Company Springfield 174 is the Bell & Ross BR 01 INSTRUMENT DE MARINE ($8,532) — visually similar and Manual. If price is the constraint, the Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch at $450 (vs $4,900 for the Springfield 174) 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.
