IWC Portugeiser Automatic and Chronograph “Blue Panda” Editions

There has been the Type XX update, Replica 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 IWC Portugeiser Automatic IW371620 and Portugeiser Chronograph IW500715, now available in “Blue Panda” colourways.

Essentially, the bicompax layout of subdials on both Best IWC Replica 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 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.

Alongside the blue subdials, both Copy IWC Watches have blue Arabic numerals and blue feuille hands. While they’re very different watchmakers, the aesthetic of these IWCs 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.

Ultimately the Swiss IWC Portugeiser Automatic IW371620 Replica 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 Automatic 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.

The Portugeiser Chronograph IW500715 Replica Swiss Made 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 Best Performing IWC Portofino Chronograph 39 Replica Watches

In addition to launching exciting watches like the Replica Big Pilot’s Top Gun 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 Best IWC Replica 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 Copy IWC Watches For Sale 79350 modified Valjoux 7750 to the in-house IWC 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.

IWC Portugieser Automatic 40 Edition ‘Chinese New Year’

The IWC Portugieser Automatic 40 Edition “Chinese New Year.” The Automatic 40 is the entry point to the brand’s more formal Portugieser collection and is the cleanest and simplest time-only version. The line is normally available with more white, blue, or green dials. Originally a 2020 release, the Portugieser 40 line features a classic dress watch dial layout with small seconds at 6. Further classic elements include leaf-shaped hands, a vintage-style typeface for the hour numerals, and a railroad minute track.

The IWC Replica Swiss Made pairs this with a matching color calfskin leather strap on a deployant buckle, and also includes a more versatile black strap. At 40mm-wide and 12.3mm-thick, with 30m of water resistance, the case shares the same dimensions and specs as the standard models. This makes it the smallest model in the Portugieser line, but it appears larger due to the large dial and thin bezel. It is also thicker than some traditional dress watches, but it should still tuck under a cuff. Its case is rendered in fully polished stainless steel, but the hands and indices are gold-plated. It also features a domed sapphire crystal that is anti-reflective on both sides like the other models.

It is constructed from 190 components and oscillates at 28,800 vph. AAA IWC Replica Watches proprietary Pelaton winding system rotates on durable ceramic components to efficiently wind the movement, providing 60 hours of power reserve. In this new version, that winding is achieved with a unique rotor visible through a transparent sapphire caseback. The rotor is gold-plated and cast in the form of a rabbit to commemorate the year.

As in other areas of fashion, the watch world goes through color cycles. In recent years, we’ve seen blue, and then Best IWC Replica Watches green dials become very popular. More recently we’ve been seeing colors trending toward the other end of the spectrum, with deep reds and purple becoming more prevalent, as well as a number of brands releasing pink dials. Whether or not you celebrate the Chinese New Year, this deep red dial color is an attractive addition to the model line.
