IWC presents the Portugieser Tourbillon Retrograde Chronograph, a unique timepiece that combines a flying minute tourbillon with a chronograph function and a retrograde date display. replica swiss watches

Available in a limited edition, the watch is crafted from 18-carat Armor Gold, a material that is much harder than traditional gold alloys.

The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides and features an exceptionally striking obsidian hue one of the new colours that IWC is introducing as part of the Portugieser revamp in 2024.

The dial is created using a complex 60-step process. 15 layers of transparent lacquer create a sense of visual depth. Gold-plated hands and solid gold applique hour markers add further shine.

The chronograph and retrograde date displays are slightly recessed and are located at 12 and 9 o'clock, respectively.replica luxury watches

The current date is indicated by a small hand pointing to a domed dial that runs from the 1st to the 31st. At the end of each month, the hand jumps back to its starting position.

The flying tourbillon (a balance wheel that rotates on its axis in a small cage) is located at 6 o'clock and improves precision by counteracting the effects of gravity on the oscillating system. It consists of 56 individual parts and weighs only 0.675 grams.

Water-resistant to 3 bar (30 meters/100 feet), the case measures 43.5 mm x 15.9 mm and is equipped with the IWC-manufactured 89900 calibre.

This movement beats at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and offers a power reserve of 68 hours. Thanks to the built-in tourbillon stop device, the movement can be completely stopped, allowing the wearer to set the time with precision to the second. Hublot MP replica watches

The pallet fork and escape wheel are made of silicon and coated with IWC's proprietary Diamond Shell technology, a treatment that reduces friction and enhances energy transmission.

The movement consists of 375 individual parts, and the exquisite structure of the movement can be seen through the sapphire crystal caseback. The movement is decorated with Geneva waves and circular graining. The rotor of the automatic winding system is made of solid gold.

The new IWC Portuguese Tourbillon Retrograde Chronograph is made of armored gold and is equipped with a black alligator leather strap made by Italian leather craftsman Santoni and equipped with an 18K armored gold folding clasp, model IW394009. replica Jacob & Co. Astronomia Sky
