2015 is the 75th anniversary of IWC Portuguese series (IWC Portuguese Replica Watches), the brand also introduced a number of special commemorative watch, and this annual calendar watch has become the focus of everyone talking about :
2015 Best Watch - IWC Portuguese Annual Calendar
It represents the first use of the annual calendar complication in an IWC watch, the new watch very closely resembles the original Portugieser model from 1939. Its case is 44.2 mm in diameter, with a grooved bezel. The dial is surrounded by a railroad-track chapter ring, and has the same thin feuille hands and Arabic numerals as did its historical predecessor. It is only the placement of the small seconds subdial (at 9 o’clock rather than 6 o’clock) that significantly varies from the 1939 design — along with, of course, the three calendar windows replacing the 11 o’clock, 12 o’clock and 1 o’clock numerals.

The dial of the IWC Portuguese Annual Calendar displays the month, date, and day, in that order, in three semi-circular windows at 12 o’clock. This “American-style” date indication, which uses three individual disks, is an homage to IWC’s American-born founder, Florentine Ariosto Jones. The watch’s seven-day (168-hour) power reserve, which is stored in twin barrels, is displayed on a subdial at 3 o’clock. The small seconds subdial is positioned at 9 o’clock. As in all annual calendar watches, the date will need correction once a year, at the end of February; fortunately, all corrections can be carried out easily and conveniently, via the single winding crown.

The sapphire caseback allows an unimpeded view of the automatic movement, which displays some of the modifications that IWC has made to its 5200 family of calibers, including slimmer rotors and more open bridges inset with a solid gold “Probus Scafusia” medallion. IWC’s Pellaton winding system has also been improved, with practically wear-free components made of black and white ceramic.

IWC Portuguese Annual Calendar is available in an 18k rose-gold case with silver-plated dial (Ref. IW503504); stainless steel case with a silver-plated dial (Ref. IW503501) and stainless steel case with sun-pattern-finished midnight blue dial (Ref. IW503502). The watch comes on a Santoni alligator leather strap with a folding clasp. Its in-house movement is equipped with an innovative annual calendar mechanism and also boasts a two-barrel, seven-day power reserve.
