Description
The IWC Portugieser Sidérale Scafusia Ref. IW504101 is an unparalleled creation that blends the art of watchmaking with the science of astronomy. Its platinum case, with a diameter of 46.0 mm, provides a grand canvas for the watch's complex features, while the height of 17.6 mm accommodates the sophisticated 94900 Calibre movement. This manual-winding movement, consisting of 56 jewels and sand-blasted for a distinctive finish, operates at a frequency of 18,000 VPH (3 Hz), ensuring accuracy over its 96-hour power reserve. The see-through sapphire glass back offers a glimpse into the intricate workings of this mechanical wonder, while the water resistance of up to 3.0 bar ensures durability amid its elegance.
This watch is not just a timekeeper; it's an astronomical instrument for the wrist. It features a sidereal time display, measuring time based on the Earth's rotation relative to the stars, offering a view into the realm of celestial navigation. The watch also includes a customized celestial chart, providing a personalized view of the night sky, along with indicators for the ecliptic and celestial equator. The sunrise and sunset displays, along with day, night, and twilight indicators, provide the wearer with a profound connection to the celestial rhythms. The perpetual calendar, mechanically programmed for 577 years, includes a leap year display and the absolute day of the year, adding to the watch’s functionality. The pièce de résistance is the tourbillon with an integrated constant-force mechanism, enhancing the precision of the movement. The IWC Portugieser Sidérale Scafusia Ref. IW504101 is more than a masterpiece; it's a tribute to the wonders of the cosmos, crafted for those who appreciate the intricate relationship between time and the universe. GenderMen
