Have you ever thought that a watch is not only a symbol of time, but also a reflection of an attitude towards life? In recent days, IWC has launched a new Portuguese series of chronograph watches. With its unique “horizon blue” dial and elegant white gold case, it has instantly aroused heated discussions among watch enthusiasts. Its design is inspired by the intersection of the ocean and the sky. Isn’t this a timepiece that can take you to swim in the blue sky and the sea? Next, follow me to learn more about this beautiful watch!
IWC Portuguese series watches
Recently, IWC has launched a new chronograph watch (model IW371626) belonging to the Portuguese series. The biggest highlight of this watch is that it uses a new horizon blue dial and is paired with a white gold case. This combination is particularly eye-catching in the entire watch industry. Many watch friends said that this watch pierced their hearts as soon as it came out. It is really beautiful.
The dial of the watch is also engraved with a quarter-second scale, which is not common on chronograph watches of other brands. Although a quarter of a second is not a lot, it can indeed improve the accuracy of timing to a certain extent.
The most special thing about this watch is its dial layout. The 12 o’clock position is the minute chronograph counter, and the 6 o’clock position is the small seconds counter. This layout not only ensures that the entire dial is clear and easy to read, but also takes into account both aesthetics and symmetry. It really serves multiple purposes.
“Horizon Blue” is inspired by the connection between the sea and the sky. This deep and layered blue reminds people of the moment when the sea and the sky merge into one. It also echoes the maritime history that the Portuguese series has inherited.
The diameter of this watch is 41 mm and the thickness is 13.1 mm. The case made of 18K white gold looks particularly refreshing and clean after double treatment. Although the launch of the new watch only changed the color, it still attracted everyone’s attention, which is enough to show that IWC is quite successful in design.
Geneva Watch Fair 2024
The annual Geneva International Watch and Clock Fair will be held in January 2024, and IWC will also attend this event with its new watches this year. At the 2024 Geneva International Watch and Clock Fair, IWC will focus mainly on the Portuguese series of watches, which shows the status of this series in the hearts of IWC.
The Portuguese series has launched chronograph watches one after another since 1995. It can be said to be one of the most classic series of IWC. It perfectly combines traditional watchmaking technology with sports style and is extremely popular among watch lovers. Although the newly launched chronograph watch has only changed its color this time, it can still attract the attention of many watch friends because of its unique “horizon blue” color.
This watch not only looks good, but is also quite good on the inside. It is equipped with IWC’s self-made Cal.69355 self-winding movement, with a vibration frequency of 28,800 times per hour and a power reserve of 46 hours. What does this mean? Even if you leave it for a day, you don’t have to worry about it running. After putting it on your wrist, turning it for about 24 hours can give the movement a long enough reserve.
Conclusion
I think this new IWC watch really perfectly combines appearance and function. Not only is the design eye-catching, but the performance of the internal movement should not be underestimated either. Even if it just changes the color, it can still attract so much attention, which shows that its status in the hearts of cousins is extraordinary. What do you think of this watch?
