Hello everyone, I am purewatches, today is January 2, 2025. First of all, I would like to express my deep gratitude to all my cousins, old and new, for their continued support over the years, and wish you all good health and success in the coming year. What I want to show you today is the latest version of the IWC Portuguese 7 steel belt released by APS. It provides five to six different configuration options, and in my opinion, the blue configuration is the most outstanding. Therefore, I would like to use this blue to give you a brief introduction.
I’ve spent the past two months reviewing this belt version and hope you guys will take the time to check it out. Next, let’s take a closer look at some of the production details of this watch. First of all, the most significant difference compared to the old model is that it reflects like a mirror. This mirror is an arched blue sapphire mirror with this frameless design, which makes it look more high-end and beautiful. The cost of this mirror may be slightly higher compared to older models. Next, carefully observe the literal performance of APS, and you will find that its literal meaning is quite outstanding and very clear.
This blue color is more correct, the radial pattern is very delicate, and there is a pointer in it, which is polished. There is also a scale, and each Arabic numeral scale is very bright. Later, with him, it was no longer a problem to print these oil pressure sheets. Next, this side displays the power prompt, while the other side displays the second hand prompt. Later, some watch friends thought that this was the day of the week, but in fact it was not. As long as there is a power display, it is equivalent to a car fuel gauge. If it is original, it can store kinetic energy for seven days. Later, this model lasted about three days with a left-right energy storage. But in daily life, we don’t need to go up particularly full. You just need to keep moving forward when winding. When you reach the 6 to 7 position, it doesn’t have to go up particularly full. If the top is particularly full, it will easily cause the spring to collapse. So just people paying attention to it. Usually 5~6 points is OK.
Then the details are very good, and there are no problems with the calendar and calendar window. Then, the entire watch case is also made using a mold opening method. Then these brushed styles are exquisitely crafted and comparable to the original ones. The most attractive thing is its steel belt, which is also very user-friendly. Look at the details of this steel belt. I personally like this steel belt very much. It is brushed on the side and polished in the middle. It is a bit similar to this chocolate bar. It is very classy. This steel belt made of APS is the exact correct version of the original. It is also very convenient to disassemble this watch knot. Just click on its center point and the connecting rod can be easily pushed out from the side. The operation is also quite simple.
In addition, the internal mechanism design of this buckle is similar to the original one. Just press the logo button on the back and the inside can slide quickly. This is only a small adjustment of about a centimeter to keep it consistent with the original design, but it is certainly a challenge. The cost of making this mechanism is quite high, but what this mechanism does is the same as the original one, and the AP mechanism is very tight, it is not loose at all. So, pretty well done. The cost of this kind of watch strap should be higher than that of ordinary steel straps.
Then take a look at this movement. This movement is still the same as the old model, using Dandong. There is no problem with the stability of this plywood movement, and the storage time is about 3 days. I just said it was great. The overall appearance is quite beautiful, and the entire watch mirror is also made from the original version. Its official size data is 42.4, which is very standard. The size and thickness of the original version can be simply measured at about 12.2, and it is also the original version.
So in terms of the entire watch, its dimensions, including the color, are quite good. Then the movement stability is also good. So if you like this Portuguese 7 steel belt, buy it and play with it. It is quite good for detoxification. The highest version currently produced is the APS factory. In addition, you can also check out the other colors in Moments.
