IWC will soon bring two new members to their classic Portuguese Collection: one is a silver dial Portuguese Automatic and the other is a red gold Portuguese Chronograph.
The new Portuguese Automatic features a delectable and handsome face with “railway” minute track. The clean and expansive silver dial matches the gold leaf hand markers perfectly. Like its preceding models, the watch has a small seconds hand at the 9 o’clock, a seven-day power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock and a date display at the 6 o’clock. The retail price for this watch is about $13,500.
The red gold Portuguese Chronograph is bit complicated than the Automatic. It features a 30-minute totalizer with gold hand at 12 o’clock, a small seconds hand at 6 o’clock and a 1/4 second center chronograph hand. According to IWC, the new Portuguese Chronograph is powerd by the 79350 calibre with a balance wheel frequency of 28,800 beats per hour, which ensures fabulous accuracy required for a marine travel.
Actually when you review the previous variations of the Portuguese collection, you’ll find their major difference in appearance lies in the color scheme. Some may think these watches are boring as they always remain in the same stale style. But the others just loved the classic design of the Portuguese collection. Only slight difference in color tone will make them thrill and desire to add it into their collection.
