IWC watches

One of the watches in IWC's Portuguese line, is the Portuguese Regulateur. The regulator watch design was inspired by early marine chronometers. The precision mechanical timekeeper that is sure to gain great popularity among men is housed in the platinum case with 43 mm in diameter. The platinum models are limited to the edition of 500 pieces, while rose gold or stainless steel ones are to be produced in unlimited number.

It is notable that the timepiece is equipped with the IWC Caliber 98245 that is based upon a prime pocket watch movement. The mechanical mechanism is to be wound by hand. It is beating at 18000 vibrations per hour and provides a considerable power reserve of 46 hours. It celebrates the IWC's history comprising about 140 years in watchmaking. During this period the brand's watchmakers gained great experience in constructing impeccable movements subjecting them to evolution process.

IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar line was recently filled up with four new models. Now IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar family includes 2 red gold and 2 white gold models.

It goes without saying that this IWC line has no need to improve technically as in the horology the brand occupies the highest quality level in perpetual calendar watch models.

So the IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar line addition was inspired by the IWC watches lovers’ passionate desire for the wider option. The 25-year old IWC house manufactured 50000-calibres with 7-day power reserve. The main watch characteristic is that it needs just one leap day correction in February. For the more wearer’s comfort the watch needs only kinetic energy for the Pellaton winding system.

The new-born classic in shape IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar model keeps the set of a quasi-universal hemisphere lunar display, where the miniature version of the Earth’s satellite is pictured twice: from northern or southern hemisphere. The two moons functions work simultaneously, while the moon disc does not move at all. Instead, the engraved globe disc with two blue circular surfaces moves. The subsidiary countdown scale shows the day number remaining for the new full moon appearance.

IWC new watch - Aquatimer Chronograph Reference 3769 - is again on board going to widen the previous timepieces collection IWC Aquatimer Deep Two. Aquatimer Chronograph Reference 3769 fits a manufactory calibre 89360 previously used in the Da Vinci and Ingenieur lines of watches. The improved autowinding system originally created by Albert Pellaton advances the efficiency of the winding system by 30%. The movement based on 40 jewels provides 68 hours of power reserve and oscillates at 28 800 bph.

The chronograph mechanism is equipped with flyback function which is activated by a classical column wheel. Stopped hours and minutes are displayed on a subdial. The chronograph is decentralized and shows the readings at one counter placed at 12 o'clock.
