Updating an icon like IWC’s Portugieser requires restraint. This year, the brand revisited its flagship dress replica watches for sale with subtle design refinements, new dial colors, and a groundbreaking Eternal Calendar that stole the Watches and Wonders Geneva show earlier this month.
As the name implies, Portugieser traces its origin story to the 1930s, when a watch wholesaler in Lisbon requested a men’s wristwatch with the high precision of a marine chronometer. IWC’s solution was to employ a pocket watch movement in an oversized 43mm case to create the Reference 325, later nicknamed Portugieser (German for “Portuguese”), in 1939.
Over the decades, cheap UK fake IWC Portugieser watches has retained its core aesthetic codes—large Deco-style Arabic numerals, slim leaf-style hands, and a railroad-track chapter ring around the perimeter of the dial.
This year, IWC expanded the collection with an extensive lineup of new high quality replica watches, including 40mm and 42mm automatics, a chronograph, a perpetual calendar, a tourbillon, and the Eternal Calendar, an extremely rare secular perpetual calendar that puts the notion of a perpetual calendar on steroids.
A perpetual calendar is regarded as a technical marvel because it automatically adjusts for months of different lengths and leap years until the year 2100 (if it were kept continually running).
The 44.4mm platinum Portugieser Eternal Calendar (price upon request) can accurately adjust calendar information until at least the year 3999.
Additionally, best IWC copy watches developed a super-accurate moon phase complication with a new reduction gear train featuring three intermediate wheels. The design was the result of running 22 trillion different combinations through a computer simulation to come up with the optimal configuration that, mathematically speaking, will deviate from the moon’s orbit by only one day after an incredible 45 million years.
The top replica IWC Eternal Calendar watches’ airy aesthetic is due to the liberal use of glass—from the glass dial that is frosted underneath to the polished box-glass sapphire crystal and box-glass sapphire crystal case back.
A trio of new dial colors—light blue Horizon, golden Dune and dark Obsidian—is the major news in the existing Portugieser range, which has been tweaked for heightened elegance. The radiant dials undergo a painstaking production process that involves applying 15 layers of transparent lacquer polished to a high gloss. Depth and dimension are enhanced with hand-mounted appliques and special printing.
Horizon dials are paired with white gold cases and matching Santoni calfskin straps, while Dune dials are matched with white gold or stainless steel cases, gold accents and black alligator leather straps. Obsidian dials contrast with 18-karat 5N gold and proprietary Armor Gold (a harder 5N red gold alloy) cases, gold-plated hands, and gold appliques.
IWC slimmed down and refined the Automatic 40 and Automatic 42 classic super clone watches for sale and added double box-glass sapphire crystals to the front and back to show off their IWC-manufactured movements.
The Swiss made replica IWC Automatic 40 watches—now in Horizon (US$19,500) and Obsidian (US$18,500)—stays true to the 1939 original with a clean dial and small seconds display at 6 o’clock. It’s powered by the 82200 caliber with the brand’s Pellaton winding system generating a 60-hour power reserve.
Distinguished by its balanced dial layout with a power reserve display at 3 o’clock and small seconds at 9 o’clock, the Automatic 42 added six new options, including Horizon (US$27,800), Dune (US$13,500), and Obsidian US$26,700).
The IWC Portugieser Chronograph replica watches shop has been around since 1998 and is recognized for its vertical sub-dial layout with stopped minutes at 12 o’clock and small seconds at 6 o’clock. Precise stop-time readings are tracked on the inner flange printed with a quarter-second scale.
Powered by the 69355 Caliber endowed with a column-wheel and a bi-directional pawl-winding system similar to the Pellaton, the 41mm Chronograph line has added options in Horizon (US$20,300), Dune (US$8,400), and Obsidian (US$19,200).
IWC also pared down the 44.4mm case of its famous Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 44 and added box-glass sapphire crystals on the front and back. The brand introduced four new versions: two in 18-karat white gold with Horizon and Dune dials (US$47,500 for both) and two in Armor Gold with a choice of Obsidian or silver-plated dials (US$46,500 for both).
Launched in 2003, the IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar fake watches for men is recognized for its patented Double Moon display, which portrays moon phases as viewed from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and stays accurate up to 577.5 years.
Armor Gold fitted with an Obsidian dial is the only choice for the new 42.2mm AAA luxury replica IWC Portugieser Hand-Wound Tourbillon Day & Night watches (US$79,300). Its spinning flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock competes for attention with a spherical day/night indicator at 9 o’clock that completes a full revolution every 24 hours.
