FAQ
Q: Is the Ingersoll Springfield a mechanical or quartz watch?
A: The Springfield I15203 is powered by a fully mechanical automatic movement. This self-winding calibre draws energy from the natural motion of your wrist throughout the day, eliminating the need for battery replacements. When worn regularly, it maintains continuous operation; if left unworn for extended periods, it can be manually wound via the crown.
Q: What does the skeletonised dial reveal?
A: The skeletonised dial removes traditional dial material to expose the intricate inner workings of the automatic movement. You will see gears, bridges, jewels, and the oscillating balance wheel in motion—a captivating display of mechanical watchmaking that celebrates the craftsmanship within.
Q: Is the 48mm case size suitable for all wrist sizes?
A: The 48mm case diameter delivers a bold, contemporary presence on the wrist. It suits medium to larger wrists comfortably, typically 17cm circumference and above. We recommend trying the watch in person at our Mall of the South boutique to assess fit and comfort, as our team can also adjust the bracelet to your exact wrist size.
Q: Can I wear this watch whilst swimming or showering?
A: With a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 metres), The Springfield can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as hand washing. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. Automatic watches contain delicate mechanical components that require protection from sustained water exposure and pressure.
Q: How often does an automatic watch need servicing?
A: We recommend servicing your Ingersoll automatic watch every 3 to 5 years to maintain optimal performance and longevity. Our watch servicing and repairs team can perform full mechanical services, including cleaning, lubrication, and calibration, to keep your timepiece running precisely for decades.
Q: Does this watch come with a warranty?
A: Yes. When purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Ingersoll retailer, The Springfield I15203 includes a 2-year international Ingersoll warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or water damage due to misuse.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized or replaced?
A: Absolutely. The integrated stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized at our boutique to fit your wrist perfectly. Our team can remove or add links to achieve optimal comfort. Should you wish to explore alternative strap options in future, we can advise on compatible aftermarket solutions during your visit.

Care Guide
- Wind your automatic watch regularly if not worn daily, or use a quality watch winder to maintain consistent power reserve and accuracy.
- Avoid exposing the watch to magnetic fields from electronic devices such as speakers, mobile phones, or laptops, as magnetisation can affect timekeeping precision.
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush with mild soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance and allow moisture ingress.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity when not in use.
- Avoid impact, shocks, and dropping the watch, as mechanical movements contain delicate components that can be damaged by sudden force.
- Have your watch serviced every 3 to 5 years by a qualified watchmaker to ensure lubrication, accuracy, and water resistance integrity are maintained.
- If your watch stops or exhibits irregular timekeeping, do not attempt to open the case yourself—bring it to our servicing team for professional diagnosis.
