In 2024, IWC has completely revamped its Portugieser collection, adding complications such as a new perpetual calendar, perpetual calendar and tourbillon to the collection. The update covers all material bases, from white gold to steel, offering the most color options in the fewest possible variants. With slimmer cases taking center stage in the revamp, the new First Copy Watches meet the watch public’s growing demand for slimmer, unisex timepieces that maintain performance and style.
From a distance, the new IWC Portugieser Replica Watches For Discount is the most colorful, which is a bit odd for the most sedate collection in IWC’s catalog. That being said, the pale blue is the boldest, but it makes a striking statement when paired with an alligator leather strap in the same color. The only black dial in the collection is only paired with a 5N rose gold case, and its gold dial markers and hands are undoubtedly the most luxurious of the bunch.
Most notable is the new 42mm model, a completely new addition to the Portugieser family. Slotting in between the three-hand 40mm model and the Portugieser chronograph, the new 42mm model retains the small seconds subdial but moves it from 6 o’clock to 9 o’clock. Even with the added thickness of the exhibition caseback and the added functionality of the 52011, the new Portugieser 42s is only about 0.5mm thicker than its 3-hand brother, measuring 13mm thick when viewed from the side.
The Portugieser 40 – despite receiving only two new references – remains quite attractive. But as it is only available in a gold case, it represents a decidedly higher-end option. It is driven by IWC’s familiar automatic 82200 movement, which runs at 4Hz while offering a 60-hour power reserve. Curious is the redesigned caseback. Unlike the screw backing on the existing Portugieser 40 First Copy Watches, the new model features an exhibition caseback that is secured to the back of the lugs with four separate screws.
Cheap IWC Replica update to the Portugieser shows the brand’s commitment to innovating the classic-style collection in 2024—good news for the suit-and-tie crowd, who, while not yet on the endangered species list, are certainly vulnerable.
