The Most Exquisite IWC Portugieser Automatic 40 With Salmon Dial

IWC Schaffhausen has unveiled a new version of the Portugieser Automatic 40, with an aesthetic that is both modern and classic. The first IWC Portugieser Automatic 40 Replica was added to the collection in 2020 and brings back a puristic design of the original Portugieser from the late 1930s. However, the movement of the latest model has been housed in a more compact and lighter case than its predecessors.

The case

The Most Exquisite Portugieser Automatic 40 (Ref. IW358313) Replica features a robust stainless steel-case. The case measures 40 mm in diameter and 12.4 mm in height, making this Portugieser is one of the more manageable and compact variants compared to its complication-laden predecessors.This wearable case size represents a refreshing reimagining of the original Portugieser design from the late 1930s, which was a larger diameter of 43 mm.

Furthermore, the watch is equipped with a curvaceous scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which is anti-reflective on both sides. The caseback is transparent, allowing a view of the IWC Replica-manufactured 82200 calibre. Overall, the design of the case corresponds to a modern yet timeless design. The case is also water-resistant to 30 m.

The dial

In 2020, a new dial composition was introduced on the Portugieser Automatic 40. Ever since then, IWC has made the design decision to opt for small seconds at 6 o’clock rather than 9 o’clock. In addition, the IWC Portugieser Replica rhodium-plated hands and accents of the dial give the watch a classic but sophisticated look, while the salmon-coloured design of the dial is the most eye-catching detail of the new version. The sleek design of the Portugieser and the striking sunburst look accentuate the modern colour beautifully well.

The movement

Powering the Portugieser Autmatic 40 is the resilient IWC Most Famous Luxury Replica Watches manufacture 82200 calibre. The movement is based on the IWC 82110 calibre, which has also been put in previous models of the Portugieser as well the Da Vinci collection.

These winding pawls are made of virtually wear-free zirconium oxide ceramic, which protect the movement from wear and tear over the years. Last but not least, the movement is operated at a frequency of 4 hertz and offers a power reserve of 60 hours.

The Most Famous IWC Portofino Complete Calendar Watch

The complete calendar, or full calendar, has been quite the theme lately. The latest to join the growing pack of luxury watches that display not just the time and date, but also the day of the week, the month, and the phase of the moon, is the IWC Portofino Complete Calendar Replica watch that debuts in 18k 5N gold and in stainless steel, accompanied by the IWC Portofino Automatic Pointer Date.

The annual calendar is programmed to automatically adjust for 30-day months and advance to the 1st of the next month, while the perpetual calendar extends this functionality by keeping track of 28-day and 29-day Februarys, as well — again, automatically jumping to the Swiss IWC Replica 1st of March at the correct time. By contrast, what renders a complete calendar “complete” is the inclusion of all major calendar displays — date, day, month, and phase of the moon.

The IWC Portofino Complete Calendar watch incorporates these in a highly elegant fashion, with just two subdials, each of which contains two displays. The phase of the moon and day of the week can be read just below 12 o’clock — where some will certainly be bothered by the cutoff in the “XII” hour marker — while the date and month are shown in the lower subdial. The Portofino is the prime dress watch option of IWC Replica US Watches, and, as such, it is an understated and elegant design.

The leaf-shaped hands and the straight hour markers make for a surprisingly powerful combination, as does that of a wide dial and slim bezel. The balance is perfected by the Automatic and IWC Schaffhausen texts on the 9 and 3 o’clock axis, while a touch of blue in the central seconds hand and phase of the moon disk add versatility and some much-needed color to the mix. Both the 18k 5N gold and the stainless steel-cased variant of the Cheap IWC Portofino Complete Calendar Replica watch measure 41mm-wide and 11.8mm-thick, so a bit on the thicker side as a result of the modular construction of the movement.

Water resistance is rated at 50m (150ft) — if its looks did not suffice as a reminder, then the calfskin straps wrapping around your wrist and the two corrector pushers set into the side of the case should tell you that this is not a sports watch by any stretch of the imagination — and that’s all good.The Portofino watch collection is also extended by the Copy IWC Watches, a 39mm-wide version that shaves off a millimeter from overall thickness to 10.8mm and comes with a solid as opposed to transparent caseback.

It also does away with the majority of additional indications and all that remains is a pointer date — a classy-looking rendition of the date, sure, but certainly not the IWC Replica Swiss Movement Watches easiest to read unless you have excellent near-sight and very steady hands. In our experience, images tend to lend an exaggerated and magnified look to the finer details in watches, and these tiny displays are certainly no exception.

IWC Replica US Launch New Pilot’s Watch Mark XX

In many regards IWC’s “Mark” series of Pilot’s Replica US Watches are the comfortable, everyday wear version of the huge Big Pilot’s Watch. Although describing them as such may do a disservice to their significant heritage, tracing back to the legendary Mark XI military Pilot’s Watch.

The 40mm diameter of models like the XVIII is much more wearable than even the 43mm of last year’s reduced size Big Pilot’s. Now though, IWC Replica Watches have released a new mark, the Pilot’s Watch Mark XX, which introduces some quality of life improvements that cement it as a premier day-to-day timepiece.

First and foremost, the dial has been redesigned to boost legibility beyond its already highly legible predecessors. Primarily that’s through adjustments to the date window, which now contrasts to the IWC quality replica watches matte black or blue dial with a white background. The aperture is also larger and has been moved further out towards the periphery of the dial, providing better symmetry with the numerals opposite.

At the same time that the date window has moved outwards, the Most Exquisite IWC Replica Watches rest of the numerals have moved closer to the centre of the dial, albeit minutely. This subtle change means the hour markers at 12, 3, 6 and 9 are now rectangles, as opposed to squares as they formerly were, providing more shape to the display and filling more empty space. At a glance these might seem like inconsequential alterations but when you’re wearing a watch every day, every small issue becomes obvious.

IWC have taken a similar approach with adjusting the Pilot’s Watch Mark XX’s case. It’s still 40mm but the height has been reduced to 10.8mm from the XVIII’s 11mm – IWC Replica Swiss Made never made a Mark XIX, an odd oversight but perhaps XX just sounds better. 0.02mm isn’t likely to make all that much difference to the wearer’s experience but a game changer is the new water resistance rating, which is 100m instead of a measly 60m.

At the centre of the of these changes is the Luxury Replica US Watches in-house movement 32111 Calibre. It allows for the thinner case and repositioned date window and is an all-round improvement on the Sellita number housed in previous Marks. It’s automatic and has an impressive 120-hour power reserve, which is perfect for daily wear as once you’ve set the time, you’ll practically never have to touch it again.

IWC Launch Portugeiser Automatic and Chronograph “Blue Panda” Editions

There has been the Type XX update, Big Pilot Annual Calendar Le Petit Prince and Top Gun Ceramics. However, IWC are no one trick pony, also producing a wide range of dress and sports watches. The most popular of which is the Portugeiser with two classic examples, the Luxury IWC Portugeiser Automatic Replica IW371620 and Portugeiser Chronograph IW500715, now available in “Blue Panda” colourways.

The bicompax layout of subdials on both watches are blue, set into a white dial. The two-tone pattern riffs on the traditional black and white of the panda design but with an aquatic edge that gives them the “Blue Panda” nickname. The IWC Portugeiser Automatic Replica Swiss Made features its small seconds and power reserve subdials in a horizontal format while the Chronograph’s 30-minute timer and small seconds are stacked vertically.

IWC Portugeiser Automatic Ref. IW371620 Replica

Alongside the blue subdials, both versions have blue Arabic numerals and blue feuille hands. While they’re very different watchmakers, the aesthetic of these IWC Best Replica Watches remind me of the Marine Torpilleur Panda from Ulysse Nardin. In fact, looking back at the Marine Torpilleur, it was the last time a watchmaker used the term panda for a blue colourway as well, so the comparison is more apt than I thought.

IWC Portugeiser Chronograph Ref. IW500715 Replica

Ultimately the IWC Portugeiser Automatic IW371620 and Chronograph IW500715 “Blue Pandas” are simple and attractive recolours. Which means the specs will be familiar to anyone who knows the collection. For the Swiss Replica Watches that means a 42.3mm steel case housing the calibre 52010 automatic movement with pellaton winding and a 7-day power reserve. Then the Chronograph has a 41mm diameter case and the calibre 69355, a column wheel chronograph movement with automatic winding and a power reserve of 46-hours.

IWC Portugeiser Chronograph IW500715 Replica

The IWC Portugeiser Chronograph IW500715 Replica is presented on a sporty, blue rubber strap while the Automatic IW371620 is on blue alligator leather. Between the difference in strap and substantial difference in movement, the prices of the two watches also differs dramatically.

The Most Beautiful IWC Portofino Chronograph 39 Replica Watches

In addition to launching exciting watches like the Big Pilot’s Top Gun Replica Edition Ceramic, IWC has been quietly revamping a great many of their collections. Foremost among the revamped models is the Mark XX, which received some nice quality-of-life upgrades. The next watch to receive a similar update is the IWC Portofino Chronograph 39 IW391502.

It’s an unexpected choice from IWC Replica US Watches because the 39mm editions only debuted last year, in fact we covered the launch here. The new watch is virtually identical to those 2021 editions, featuring the same dial design and case, but this time in monochromatic silver white.

What’s new is the movement inside, which has been updated from the IWC 79350 modified Valjoux 7750 to the in-house Cheap IWC Replica 69355. Its 46-hour power reserve is an improvement on the previous calibre but over all it’s very similar with 30-minute timer and small seconds functions in addition to hours, minutes and chronograph seconds.

Between the IWC Replica increased power reserve, in-house movement, exhibition caseback and fresh colourway, that’s a justifiable price hop.

The Best IWC Portugieser Chronograph Blue Panda Watches

If there’s one watch that can be called a classic at IWC, it has to be the Best Replica Portugieser Chronograph. One of the earliest models to be launched after the rebirth of the range, it succeeded the Portugieser Rattrapante with a simpler movement but almost identical design. Recently, however, IWC presented a new duo of Portugieser watches with Panda blue dials. And now that we’ve managed to see it in the metal, I can tell you that there’s a lot to love in what appeared at first as a negligible upgrade.

The beauty of the IWC Portugieser Chronograph Replica US Watches lies in its timeless nautical look, with sleek lines and the minimal bezel surrounding an oversized dial. It’s clean, simple, and casual, with just the right dose of elegance. A watch that has changed in decades and that still looks superb. Design-wise, almost nothing changed. Mechanically, it was time for a new proprietary movement with various upgrades.

As for the steel version of the IWC Portugieser Chronograph, four main models have long been available: the all-time classic silver dial with golden accents; the nautical-inspired silver dial with blue accents; a black dial with rhodium-plated accents; Cheap IWC Replica blue dial with rhodium-plated accents. If I am honest, I’ve always thought that the silver/blue edition was not only the most relevant in this nautical context but also the best-looking of them all.

Known as the Best IWC Portugieser Chronograph Blue Panda Replica edition, this watch seems, at first sight, to just introduce a new colour on the sub-dials. Wrong… There’s more to it. I know I’m getting slightly enthusiastic here, and objectively there are not that many differences to report, but I have such affection for the Portugieser Chronograph that it does matter to me.

The case is steel, brushed and polished, 41mm in diameter with a 13mm height, and a design that is familiar to most watch enthusiasts – the Copy IWC Watches is a watch that most watch nerds know about. This means a classic central case topped by an inverted conical bezel and large pump chronograph pushers. It’s neat and sleek and makes for a very compelling watch.

What has changed with the new reference IW371620 is mostly the dial. And it’s actually very different from the classic editions. As a reminder, the standard model has a matte, slightly grained galvanised dial with a silvery-white metallic feel and matching sub-counters.

Here, IWC Quality Replica Watches treats us with a panda blue colour scheme, with blue-toned sub counters. But that’s not all; the dial has a new glossy white finish. It has a very appealing vitreous effect, which makes the numerals, minute track and printings almost float over the dial. The two-tone effect also adds depth and animation to what usually is a rather austere watch.

The other evolution is the strap. Instead of a formal alligator leather strap, IWC 1:1 Replica Watches Swiss here provides a textured blue rubber strap with curved ends that hug the case. Not only does this add a much more casual feel to the watch, which is perfectly in line with the nautical theme of the collection, but it makes it more coherent design-wise altogether.
