Quick TakeThis is a new take on the iconic Portugieser Automatic with the 5000 series 7 day power reserve. That watch has always been a favorite of ours. This reference has a 42 mm stainless steel case with an elegant silver dial. The dial pops a little more with the use of gold numerals. The stunning 7 day movement can be seen from the display case back.
Description
The IWC Portugieser Automatic Ref. IW500704 is a masterpiece of horological craftsmanship. Encased in polished stainless steel, the watch measures an imposing 42.3 mm in diameter, making a bold statement on the wrist. Its 14.1 mm height adds a depth that not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also houses the complex mechanics within. The see-through sapphire glass back is a window into the soul of the watch, revealing the intricate workings of the 52010 Calibre movement. This feature is not merely for show; it's a testament to the precision engineering that IWC is renowned for. Water resistance up to 3.0 bar ensures durability and functionality, making it a reliable companion for everyday wear.
At the heart of this magnificent timepiece lies the IWC-manufactured 52010 Calibre movement, a beacon of mechanical prowess. This self-winding mechanism boasts an impressive 168-hour power reserve, ensuring that the watch keeps running smoothly for seven days on a single wind. The movement is composed of 252 components and 31 jewels, each playing a crucial role in maintaining the watch's precise timekeeping. The frequency of 28,800 VPH (4 Hz) is a nod to the watch's accuracy and reliability. One of the standout features is the rotor with an 18-carat gold medallion, which adds a touch of luxury and exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail. The watch also features a date display and a power reserve display, marrying functionality with style. The black alligator leather strap completes the look, providing a comfortable fit and adding a classic touch to this modern marvel. The IWC Portugieser Automatic Ref.
