Ingersoll I15203 The Springfield Automatic Bracelet Watch - W4995
Ref. I15203
The Springfield name has been part of Ingersoll's catalogue since the brand's American chapter, and this iteration makes its priorities clear from the first glance: the dial is almost entirely absent, replaced by an open view of the gear train and balance wheel running beneath. The movement powering it comes from Chinese manufacture — functional, honest work that keeps the mechanism visible without demanding a premium for what it shows. At 48mm across and 14.2mm deep, this is a watch that asks something of the wrist it goes on. It will suit a larger build; on a narrow wrist it will read as costume. The butterfly clasp closes flush and holds securely even if a hinge is caught accidentally, though resizing the bracelet requires the usual pin tools — not a quick job, so it is worth getting the fit right at the start. From the caseback, the same movement is visible again, which gives the owner two angles on the same mechanism and makes the skeleton treatment feel earned rather than decorative.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
What size strap does it take?
32mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
