Stepping up in the same dial colour
The Spur draws on Ingersoll's 1892 American heritage, though the brand has long been British-owned and the movement here is a Chinese 19-jewel automatic — chosen less for precision than for what it allows visually: a skeletonised dial that opens the mechanism to view from the front, with an exhibition caseback doing the same from behind. The rectangular case reads narrower than it wears. At 33.7mm wide the footprint looks compact, but 47mm lug to lug and 145g on the bracelet give it real presence on the wrist — this is not a light dress piece. The black skeleton dial frames the movement with a minute track and gold baton indices, the small seconds sitting at six o'clock, and luminous hands that will offer modest low-light legibility rather than anything approaching a sports watch's output. The gold PVD case and matching brushed-and-polished link bracelet read as a coordinated set, secured by a push-button butterfly clasp. Link removal requires a pin pusher to size the bracelet, which is worth knowing before you buy.

Learn more about Ingersoll
Charles and Robert Ingersoll started selling watches by mail order from New York in 1892, and in 1896 introduced the Yankee at one dollar. It was the first watch a working American could simply buy, and it sold in enormous numbers — the company's slogan, that it was the watch that made the dollar famous, was barely an exaggeration.
Volume on that scale changed the industry. Ingersoll sold tens of millions of watches, produced the first Mickey Mouse watch in 1933 under licence from Disney, and for a time was among the largest watch companies in the world.
The American business did not survive the century intact, and the name passed through several hands. It is now owned by a British company, which relaunched it in 2016 around mechanical watches rather than the cheap quartz the name had drifted into.
The modern collection leans on automatics with open dials and prominent date and day complications, priced in the low hundreds. It has little manufacturing continuity with the original firm, but the name and the Yankee heritage are genuine.

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.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
20mm. 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.
Will it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 47mm, which suits wrists from roughly 16cm (6¼ inches) upward.
Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.
How to size a watch to your wristIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
