Portuguese (Portuguese Timekeeping) is one of the most popular watches in the world and is familiar to all players. But what you may not know is that the IWC has been launched for more than 20 years. Although today, all the countries in the series have introduced new and new styles, but the country has never changed, it is one of the most worthwhile watches in the world. There is no change in the big reason worth buying.
IWC
IWC was launched in 1998.
The Portuguese series is the most profound series in the history of the country. In 1939, the country launched the Portuguese series. According to legend, in 1939, two Portuguese businessmen found the nations and hoped that the nations would create a high-precision nautical watch for them. Therefore, the country produced a watch with a steel shell, large size, easy to read, and a manual pocket watch movement (Wan Guo 74 movement). This is the birth of the Portuguese series. History stories, you can find out.
The Portuguese in the 1950s
In 1998, IWC launched the Portuguese Chronograph, which is familiar to everyone today. In fact, it was earlier than the Portuguese program to check the needles. In 1995, the country was out of the country. However, the Portuguese version of the needle is too complicated, the market is small, and the country has subsequently issued a regular automatic chronograph. From 1998 to today, the appearance of the Portuguese meter has remained unchanged and is very rare.
Portugal has not changed since its birth.
Nowadays, the famous watches and cars are very fast. Each brand has changed very quickly. In a few years, it has changed its face, and the old models have been discontinued and a new generation has been launched. Players familiar with the nations should know that a few years ago, the country implemented a series of guidelines every year. I remember very clearly, the 2013 update engineer, the 2014 update marine timepiece, 2015 Portugal, 2016 pilot, 2017 Da Vinci. Every time the update is changed, the watch changes a lot. For example, Mark 17 to Mark 18, the new Ocean Timepiece, Da Vinci, and engineers, the appearance has changed compared to the previous generation. Later, the nations may realize that watches are not fashionable and fast-selling. They should remain classic and should not change frequently. So you can see that in the past two years, all the nations have introduced new styles based on the classic models, maintaining the classic style.
The most popular gold and blue needles on the market
For more than 20 years, the appearance of the watch has not changed, and in the environment where all watches have changed, it has become the most famous and most iconic watch in the country.
Portuguese is a very good watch
The high value of the face has always been a big advantage for the country. The design of 20 years ago, one step in place, does not require any modification, and this table fully demonstrates the design level of the country.
The size of the Portuguese meter is 40.9 mm and the thickness is 12.6 mm. The size of 40.9 mm is very moderate, and the country has grasped the trend of the big watch 20 years ago, and the design is very clever. The size of 40.9 mm is medium in size in today’s men’s watch, but in order to make the watch visually large, the Portuguese meter uses a very narrow bezel, and some even say that the watch is simply ‘no’ bezel. In this way, the proportion of the disk surface of the Portuguese meter is very large, and the size of the watch is visually increased. At the same time, the thickness of the meter is 12.6 mm. As a self-winding chronograph, 12.6 mm, not thick. With a moderate size of 40.9 mm, the size of the case is very good.
The bezel of the country is very narrow
In the case treatment, the Portuguese meter is polished on the edge of the bezel, the lugs and the bottom of the case, and the middle section of the case is brushed in a large area. From the handling of the watch, you can see that both luxury and certain pragmatism (large area drawing can cover small scratches).
The high value of the Portuguese model is because the level of the disk design is high. In the three major chronographs of the country, the Portuguese, the fly, and the cymbal, the balance of the Portuguese is the most balanced and harmonious. In fact, everyone knows that the movements used in Portugal, Feiji and Baiji are the same (essentially 7750), and the position of the movement timing plate has been modified. Both the fly meter and the cyber meter are 3-eye chronographs, plus a weekly calendar. The Portuguese meter is a 2-eye counter, the 30-minute timer is at 12 o’clock, and the small second’s disc is at 6 o’clock. It is symmetrical up and down, without any cumbersomeness (there is a disc-shaped decoration in the binocular chronograph disc). And at 3 o’clock, IWC’s LOGO is written. At 9 o’clock, there is an English automatic timing, and the disc is flat and stable. They are all completely symmetrical.
The disk of the country is very symmetrical and harmonious.
There are several types of Portuguese dials, including gold, blue and silver needles, while the dial has white, black and blue discs. The most famous of them are the gold and blue needles. Both the disk time scale and the small dot scale are three-dimensional (except for the 150th anniversary edition). With the slender willow pointer, you can notice that the end of the minute hand is curved downwards and has a retro character. In addition, there is a lap scale on the edge of the disc surface, which adds a little sense of movement to the Portuguese meter.
IWC
In terms of the movement, the Portuguese uses the 79350 movement, which is the 7750 improved by the United States. For the general movement or the self-produced movement, I personally have not always cared. Because of the use of a general movement, I have bought a lot of countries including 2892 and 7750. Whether it is the Mark Fly meter or the cypress, the movement is very reliable and accurate and can reach the level of the observatory. This Portuguese meter is stable for 1 second every day and is very satisfied. On the contrary, recently, a watch that is famous for its self-produced movements, after buying it, found that it was very bad when it went. It was much slower every day. It could be slow for more than 10 seconds. After wearing it for a few days, the watch was obviously slow and very much. The official warranty (not labor, Europe, labor and Europe has always been relatively accurate). Compared with the general movement or the self-produced movement, I value reliability and precision. Some brands of self-produced movements can not rely on, it is better to use a general movement.
The 79240 movement (above) and the current 79350 movement (below) used by IWC before 2007. It’s just that the rhodium plating process is different.
The current 79350 calibre, 31 jewel bearings, and 44 hours of power. Before 2007, the Portuguese used the 79240 calibre. In fact, the 79350 and 79240 were both 7750, but the current 79350 splint is rhodium-plated.
The Portuguese meter is a solid bottom cover.
In the past two years, IWC began to replace the self-produced movement on the entry model, using the 69000 series self-produced chronograph movement to replace the 79900 series universal movement. But at present, the largest version of the conventional version of the Portuguese, Baiji, Feifei, still use the 79900 series movement. The self-produced 69000 series movements are now only used in the 150th Anniversary Edition, some pilot branch series, and engineer timing. Buying a Portuguese meter, including the regular version of the Feiji, Baiji, now don’t care too much about the movement, because the conventional version has not changed the movement.
Some special versions of the Portuguese version, in which the green disk above is a custom prototype table.
The public price of the Wanguo steel shell is 54800. This public price is also at the regular price of mainstream watches, but like Cartier, you should note that the world is now better controlled globally. I was very impressed. Last year, after the United States tightened the discount, the market for Portugal was also rising all the way. Coupled with the relatively large demand, Portugal has always been a popular watch in the country. Of course, the three countries are the most famous watches for daily wear. The public price of Feifei and Baiji is lower. You can choose one according to the actual price.
