The IWC Portugieser Replica With Stainless Steel Bracelet

The IWC Portugieser fake watch was recently treated to upgraded internals in the form of the classic column-wheel 69355 caliber, so a bracelet to match seems like the final step in the evolution of the model which is now inching towards three decades of existence.

Good things take time, and there’s certainly something to be said about the small changes made over the lifespan of the IWC Replica that make it what it is today – bracelet and all.

Any bracelet would give the watch a more sporty personality, but the bracelet that IWC has chosen for the Fake Portugieser Chronograph lends a particularly rugged aesthetic to the watch, which was originally designed for navigation tasks.

It’s always been a capable wristwatch with the horological chops to back it up, but now, with a bracelet, it finally looks the part in a way that it never has before.

IWC New Pilot’s Replica Watch TOP GUN

For pilot watches, IWC Replica is one of the benchmark brands. Their history is rich in the watches worn in the cockpit.

IWC is one of the first watch brands to use ceramics to make Replica Watches cases. Make the watch not only durable, but also comfortable to wear. This material has many advantages, such as being very scratch resistant, lightweight, and can reach the same skin temperature in a few seconds.

The Fake IWC movement inside the case is 69380. When the movement diameter is smaller than the dial diameter, the chronograph function is concentrated in the center.

The movement is protected by a soft iron inner cage to prevent magnetism, and its sapphire crystal is specially fixed to withstand sudden drops in air pressure. This automatic movement has a column wheel for precise timekeeping and a two-way pawl winding system, which is comparable to the legendary IWC Replica Watch Pellaton movement.

IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Top Gun Replica Edition

The latest pilot’s offering is straightforward. The IWC Pilot’s Replica Watch Chronograph Top Gun “SFTI” is a chronograph with a ceramic case, but its pushers, crown, and case back are Ceratanium, which is essentially titanium coated with ceramic.

The addition of the Ceratanium bits on the SFTI version also complete the all-black case. Earlier generations of ceramic pilot’s chronographs had naturally-grey titanium crowns and pushers that contrasted again the black case.

The SFTI edition remains largely similar to the regular-production Top Gun Replica Watch, save for a few minor changes in colour. And it is distinguished from the watch available to TOPGUN graduates at nine o’clock.

Distinguishing between the two movements is easy on the dial: the 7750 has its running seconds at nine o’clock, while the cal. 69380 has the seconds at six as it is coupled directly to the fourth wheel.

That’s accomplished by coupling the Fake IWC Watch hour register hand to the mainspring barrel, which conveniently makes a rotation every 12 hours.
