Top 10 Introducing the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph 25th Anniversary Replica Watches Young Professional

Portofino Hand-Wound Moon Phase

IWC fans that are paying attention to this calendar ought to know by now that 2018 marks the 150-year anniversary of the well-known brand from Schaffhausen, Switzerland. Founded in 1868 by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones, Iwc Watches Jamaica Replica would gradually and slowly, over its own one-and-a-half-century-long history, develop a reputation for engineered watches — the firm’s Latin motto, “Probus Scafusia,” translates into “good craftsmanship in Schaffhausen.” To celebrate the 150-year anniversary of this brand, IWC has just unveiled two high-tech tourbillon watches that certainly exhibit the brand’s know-how in complicated watchmaking. The Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon Edition “150 Years” is important because it is the first time IWC has united a perpetual calendar with a tourbillon on the dial. The watch comes in a 45mm wide Portugieser-style instance, which IWC fans will immediately recognize from its distinctive curved and short lugs as well as the chunky knurled crown. Sizable heat-treated leaf-shaped hour and minute hands and a straightforward railroad-style minutes monitor ensure time is easily read.

With this new timepiece, IWC has integrated a moon phase display into a Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days watch for the first time. The watch is a tribute to the Reference 5251 from 1984, another timepiece that was equipped with this complication.

The Portofino Hand-Wound Moon Phase houses the manufactured 59800 calibre, which beats at a frequency of 28,800 A/h. IWC watch designers enhanced the basic 59000 calibre with a moon phase module that only needs to be adjusted by one day after 122 years.

The watch with a case diameter of 45 millimetres is available in two versions, both of which have gold-plated hands. The first version has an 18-carat red gold case, a slate-coloured dial and solid gold appliqués (Ref. IW516403), while the second one has a stainless-steel case, a silver-plated dial and gold-plated appliqués (Ref. IW516401). Both models are fitted with a dark brown alligator leather strap by Santoni.
