Watches were produced in their factory in Springfield, Illinois.* This is our first time encountering an Illinois Marine Special, and we are blown away by the attention to detail on the movement. It features a unique damaskeening (Geneva stripes) pattern resembling a net, evoking a maritime theme—an incredible touch that we were very surprised to see. The guilloche dial is stunning, and the original heat-blued hands tie everything together beautifully. Illinois crafted this piece in 1923 in Springfield, Illinois, and we completed the conversion right here in Little Rock, Arkansas in 2025. Ready for its forever wrist. **Price**: $2,449, But absolutely negotiable—especially to someone with an interest in getting involved in vintage American watchmaking. **Case**: 316L stainless, 44 mm diameter, 47 mm lug to lug (52 mm with crown), 13 mm height, front/back sapphire crystals. Front, back, and crown gaskets provide 50 meters of water resistance although it is recommended to take the piece off before water activities. **Shipping**: UPS 2nd Day Air free in the USA. International shipping via DHL Express (\~$100), which takes approximately one week. **Payment Method**: PayPal, PayPal Credit, Venmo, Apple Pay, CashApp, Wise, Afterpay, Affirm, Klarna, and All Major Credit Cards **Service History**: The watch was serviced in 2025 and comes with a 1-year service warranty. The watch was inspected and cleaned. The watch was re-assembled and oiled using high-grade Swiss oil.
