IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Spitfire ref. IW503601

With an information-heavy dial and an advanced in-house movement, the Replica Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Spitfire ref. IW503601 makes our list of favorite IWC watches.

The greatest name ever given to a fighter plane, the Spitfire range from IWC pays tribute to the aircraft that saved Great Britain in WWII. 2019’s SIHH event saw the manufacturer add a further seven models to the collection, including this – the only Big Pilot to be introduced.

Driven by the completely in-house, Cheap IWC Replica Caliber 52615 movement, the double moon display shows the lunar cycle for both northern and southern hemispheres, and will remain accurate for the next 577.5 years. Additionally, the perpetual calendar compensates for the differing number of days in various months, as well as leap years. Consequently, it won’t need correcting until the year 2100.

The movement’s Pellaton winding system and twin barrels give an incredible seven-day power reserve, and all the hardest working components are made from a ceramic which is practically wear-free. You can see all of it at work through a sapphire case back.

On the outside, the traditional silver and steel color schemes of other IWC Spitfire Replica Watches has been abandoned in favor of a more old-school military aesthetic, with an olive drab dial set in a handsome bronze case – one designed to pick up its own unique patina over time. Rounding it all off is a brown calf leather strap.

IWC Portugieser Automatic ref. IW500712

A power reserve indicator sits at the three o’clock position on the silver-plated dial, marking the seven-day autonomy provided by another caliber in IWC’s own 52000 series, the Caliber 52010. Beating at 28,800vph, the 257-component movement, beautifully finished in Côtes de Genève, is again visible through the display caseback.

It is the latest in a six-model series of automatic watches, which also includes blue and black dial examples, as well as a pair of red gold editions, which represent the simplest iterations of the Replica Watches China name. Others in the collection include chronographs, minute repeaters, tourbillons, and a Grande Complication, which combines most of the others into one. The Portugieser Automatic harks back to the piece that started it all, and remains a signature work in the brand’s catalog.

IWC Ingenieur Chronograph Sport ref. IW380901

At 44mm in diameter, it certainly isn’t a watch for every wrist, but the titanium casing does a fine job of keeping weight down, while the stark black and white tonality lends it an inherent versatility.

The flyback chronograph features a large counter at the 12 o’clock location, with a combined hour and minute totalizer, while a second sub dial at the 6 o’clock is for a small hacking seconds, complete with lightning bolt hand – a little nod to the watch’s anti-magnetic properties. Like the Rolex Milgauss and the Omega Railmaster, the Best IWC Ingenieur Replica Watches In The World has its caliber shrouded by a soft iron Faraday cage to protect it from electromagnetic forces.

A base-1000 tachymetric scale around the perimeter completes the dial’s decoration, while that shielded movement is another completely homegrown effort from IWC’s 89000 series, the Caliber 89361. The 4Hz, 38-jewel mechanism offers a 68-hour reserve and is again finished in Côtes de Genève, although this time there’s no sapphire caseback to let you see it.

Luxury IWC Portugieser Automatic 40 Replica Edition

The IWC Portugieser Automatic 40 Replica Edition “Chinese New Year.” The Automatic 40 is the entry point to the brand’s more formal Portugieser collection and is the cleanest and simplest time-only version. The line is normally available with more white, blue, or green dials. Originally a 2020 release, the Portugieser 40 line features a classic dress watch dial layout with small seconds at 6. Further classic elements include leaf-shaped hands, a vintage-style typeface for the hour numerals, and a railroad minute track.

The brand pairs this with a matching color calfskin leather strap on a deployant buckle, and also includes a more versatile black strap. At 40mm-wide and 12.3mm-thick, with 30m of water resistance, the Cheap IWC Replica case shares the same dimensions and specs as the standard models. This makes it the smallest model in the Portugieser line, but it appears larger due to the large dial and thin bezel. It is also thicker than some traditional dress watches, but it should still tuck under a cuff.

Its case is rendered in fully polished stainless steel, but the hands and indices are gold-plated. It also features a domed sapphire crystal that is anti-reflective on both sides like the other models.It is constructed from 190 components and oscillates at 28,800 vph. IWC Replica Watches sale proprietary Pelaton winding system rotates on durable ceramic components to efficiently wind the movement, providing 60 hours of power reserve. In this new version, that winding is achieved with a unique rotor visible through a transparent sapphire caseback.

The rotor is gold-plated and cast in the form of a rabbit to commemorate the year. Surrounding that, the case back ring displays the engraving “2023 YEAR OF THE RABBIT.”As in other areas of fashion, the Luxury IWC Replica Watches world goes through color cycles. In recent years, we’ve seen blue, and then green dials become very popular. More recently we’ve been seeing colors trending toward the other end of the spectrum, with deep reds and purple becoming more prevalent, as well as a number of brands releasing pink dials. Whether or not you celebrate the Chinese New Year, this deep red dial color is an attractive addition to the model line.

High Quality Replica IWC Portugieser Automatic 40

Launched in 2020 as a more wearable version of IWC’s signature large-format dress watch, the High Quality Portugieser Automatic 40 Replica is a no-frills three-hander executed in a solid, workmanlike manner that is typical of the brand.

The large size of the various Portugieser models result from the movements, which either have a seven-day power reserve or chronograph, plus a few others that are even more complicated.That left a gap for a “small”, uncomplicated Portugieser. And so it has returned, combining the typical restrained aesthetics of the Portugieser line and the technical quality expected of IWC.

The Cheap IWC Replica is a wearable watch with a distinctive but classical aesthetic. Unlike its larger and more complicated counterparts in the Portugieser line, the 40 mm automatic is simple but still has the same recognisable aesthetic as well as a solidly engineered movement.

It’s moderately sized, though a little thick due to the movement inside. The movement is a good one, which makes the case height acceptable, though a slimmer case would certainly be more appealing and also echo the vintage original more closely.

At 40 mm, the IWC Fake Watch is a good size, but it is thick at just over 12 mm high, which is unusually tall for a time-only watch. In fact, it’s thicker than several high-end chronographs like the Patek Philippe ref. 5170. And the Lange 1815 Rattrapante is only 0.2 mm taller.

The watch doesn’t feel too big on the wrist, but the case height is obvious. While the Portugieser Automatic 40 looks like a Portugieser and has all the trademark design elements, it lacks the slim proportions of the vintage original, which is a bit of a shame.

The case quality is typical IWC Best Replica Watches – it feels solid and the surfaces are all sharply finished. Although simple in form and finish, it is solidly and neatly executed. One upside of the case thickness is the screw-down back, which is a nice touch though it doesn’t make it better or worse than a watch with a press-on back.

IWC’s signature winding mechanism was invented in 1946 by its longtime technical director Albert Pellaton. He devised a bidirectional system that relies on a heart-shaped cam and two pawls – a simple and efficient setup that does, however, require space to implement, so it will never be found in an ultra-thin or ultra-small movement.

The Portugieser Automatic 40 Swiss Replica Watch is appealingly for its simplicity. It focuses on a few things and does them well. The styling is clear and recognisable, while the quality of execution is uniformly workmanlike.Overall, it lives up to IWC’s historical strength of watches that are smartly engineered, industrially executed, and reasonably priced.
