In the field of high-end replica watches, the IWC Portuguese Chronograph series has always been a classic favored by watch enthusiasts. Especially the Portuguese watch series, with its iconic large dial design and elegant timing function, has become the “dream watch” in the hearts of countless people. However, the price of original Portuguese watches often prohibits many people. Fortunately, the IWC Portuguese Chronograph V2 Ultimate Edition watch launched by ZF Factory provides watch lovers with a cost-effective choice with its excellent craftsmanship and highly restored design.
1.Appearance design: highly restored classic aesthetics
This ZF Factory Portuguese V2 watch has a diameter of 40.9mm and a thickness of 12.3mm, which is almost the same as the original. It can be called the closest replica to the original version on the market. The case is made of 316 fine steel and has been finely brushed and polished to give it a very high texture. The middle part of the case has a horizontal brushed pattern, and the upper and lower layers are polished, perfectly replicating the original design details. In addition, the curved processing at the lugs also completely follows the original craftsmanship, and the overall appearance is impeccable.
2.Timing buttons and handles: details determine success or failure
The three button design on the side is a highlight of this watch. The upper right corner is the chronograph and running seconds switch and the stop button, and the middle is the handle. The top of the handle is clearly engraved with the “IWC” logo, and its three-dimensional effect can be felt even with a protective film. There is a reset button in the lower right corner, which can be pressed to reset the second hand to zero. It is worth mentioning that the two buttons on the right side are not on the same horizontal line as the middle handle. This detailed improvement is completely consistent with the original design and is more accurate than the old version.
3.Sapphire mirror: the perfect combination of transparency and anti-glare
The mirror surface is made of sapphire glass with anti-glare blue coating, which not only improves the visual effect, but also effectively reduces light reflection. Through the mirror, you can clearly see every detail on the disk. The Arabic numeral time scale and willow-shaped pointer system are designed in metallic silver, consistent with the original. The edges of the digital scale are rounded and natural, no longer as stiff as the old version, and the overall disk surface is full of texture.
4.Movement performance: double guarantee of stability and accuracy
The original Portuguese watch is equipped with the CAL.79350 movement, while the ZF factory uses the Dandong 7750 movement as the basis and modifies it into the Cal.79350 movement by removing excess splints and parts. This improvement not only makes the thickness of the entire watch thinner, consistent with the original version, but also greatly reduces the number of gear grafts and improves the stability of the movement. Whether for daily wear or extended use, this watch performs well.
5.Strap and caseback: exquisite and practical
As for the strap, ZF Factory uses calfskin material. Although it feels hard, it is recommended to upgrade to an alligator leather strap in the future to improve wearing comfort. The buckle has a classic push-type design and is very well polished. The size and depth of the “IWC” engraving are consistent with the original. Open the inside of the buckle, the embossed words are clearly visible, and the details are satisfactory. The bottom cover has a dense bottom design and is fixed with four straight-shaped screws. The edge engraving is clear and delicate, and the brushing process is also extremely elegant.
Summarize
ZF Factory IWC Portuguese Chronograph Series Portuguese Chronograph V2 Ultimate Edition watch, with its highly restored appearance design, exquisite craftsmanship and stable movement performance, successfully integrates classic and practical. Whether it is appearance or internal quality, this watch has reached amazing heights and can be called the pinnacle of the replica market. The first choice for formal wear, worth buying!
