Elegant Design - 2022 IWC Portofino Chronograph

The biggest surprise brought by IWC this year can be said to be the new Portofino series released in September. Most of the new products are women's watches, with day and night display, moon phase, diamonds, self-produced movement... It can be seen that IWC is really in Sophistication in women's watches. However, what attracted me the most was definitely the Portofino Chronograph 39. Get popular replica watches, copy watches, IWC look alike watches at Copywatchalike.is, all watches are all in excellent quality with affordable price.

As the main dress series of IWC, it was born in 1984. The word Portofino originated from the famous tourist seaport town on the east of the Rigelian coast in northwestern Italy. At the beginning of the design of the watch, there is a little story. At that time, the watchmaker Kurt Klaus of IWC and Hanno Burtscher, the chief designer, decided to use the classic from the brand pocket watch in a cup of wine. The circular design, as the simple and elegant design tone of the new watch series, allows the watch to carry the casual Mediterranean life atmosphere, subtle temperament and elegant taste.

At present, Portofino has 34mm, 37mm, 39mm, 40mm, 42mm, 45mm size styles to choose from, of which 39mm and 42mm are chronograph styles. The 39mm was also newly launched last year, and it is more suitable for watch lovers with moderate or small wrist circumferences. The simple design of the dial makes it still elegant and delicate, which has made it a little warmer in the past two years. Of course, the 39mm version is also not. Not to replace the 42mm Porto chronograph, but just to enrich the chronograph product line, so that watch lovers can choose the one that suits them.

The new Portofino chronograph is made of stainless steel. The whole watch is polished. The thickness of the case is 13 mm, which is thin within the normal range of chronographs, but because the whole watch is particularly round, visually Look, it will be thicker. The entire watch is water resistant to 50 meters. Portofino's narrow bezel design is also a feature of this series, which makes the silver-white dial more open from the visual effect, not only the case details, but also the iconic willow-leaf hands and three-dimensional hour markers on the silver-white dial. All have been polished to add luxury and a more harmonious elegance.

IWC's First Bronze Watch

 Galapas Islands, also known as Colon Islands, the unique natural environment of the archipelago's diverse climate and volcanic landforms allows a variety of animals and plants to live here at the same time. The famous biologist Darwin took the HMS Berger in 1835. The investigation here prompted him to put forward the famous theory of biological evolution later. Since 2009, IWC has been actively supporting the Darwin Foundation's scientific research and conservation work on the archipelago. In order to pay tribute to Darwin's pioneering spirit and the famous scientific research ship, IWC drew inspiration from Darwin's Beagle. The bronze material, which was known for its corrosion resistance at the time, was used in portholes, ship accessories and nautical instruments to make the brand's first bronze watch. Tocowatch is top replica watch site that sells top IWC copy watches. We select high quality luxury copy watches for men and women.

Bronze is still very popular as a watch material. Because of its characteristics, it not only looks good in metal color, but also has a unique oxidation process. There is also a reason mentioned above. When there was no stainless steel, contact Seawater objects are basically made of corrosion-resistant bronze, and bronze is also very suitable for diving watches. Of course, bronze watches are only called this in a general sense. In fact, they are all copper alloys, and there are many kinds of them according to the proportion of different metals. For example, IWC uses aluminum bronze. The copper base contains aluminum and iron elements, which are high in hardness and high in hardness. Strong heat-resistant bronze, aluminum bronze is also highly biocompatible and also allows for use in the food industry.

The bronze case of the IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Expedition Charles Darwin IW379503 was highly polished when it was first received, and its color was very close to that of a conventional gold case. This is the case for IWC bronze watches, which directly fills the luxury. The patina of the brand is also different. The aluminum bronze of IWC will only have a kind of black and old oxidation effect, which is very textured. You can restore it if you like it or not. The size of the whole watch is 44 mm and the thickness is 16.9 mm, which is much larger and heavier than conventional diving watches, and it is still very attractive for people to wear. The bulge on the side of the watch is not the helium escape valve, but the cover of the clutch system of the safety diving system.

The screw-in crown on the other side of the watch is protected by a bronze shoulder guard. The waterproof performance of the entire watch is 300 meters. The crown and the timing buttons on both sides are covered with rubber material, which is specially designed for slip resistance during operation. I also mentioned the SafeDive system, the logo design of the marine chronograph. It can be seen that the watch uses a rotating inner disk, but it is not like an EPSA case that rotates the inner ring through the button on the watch side, but you turn the outer ring, which is transmitted to the clutch gear set, which drives the inner ring to rotate. Two benefits, one is turning the outer ring, which is better for grip than turning buttons when wearing gloves, and the other is reducing exposure to sea water, sand, and hard objects that are critical to diving. IWC has also made an extra layer of safety settings. No matter how you twist the inner ring, it can only rotate counterclockwise and will not retreat. Even if you accidentally touch the bezel to advance, the diving time will only be less and less, and the oxygen content will be found immediately. Not enough, go up quickly without accidentally retreating, resulting in 6 minutes of diving, and a look at the watch instructs to dive for 2 minutes, to prevent this situation.

For diving watches, luminous is very important. The hands of the watch and the diving scale are coated with luminous paint. The above picture shows the luminous effect of the watch. The minute hand and the first 15 minutes of the bezel indicate a two-color effect, which is also to allow the wearer to better distinguish the diving time. A portrait of Darwin is engraved on the back of the watch. In terms of movement, it is equipped with an 89365 self-winding movement produced by IWC. The 89 series movement, which is quite familiar to watch friends, is the first self-produced chronograph movement series fully developed by IWC. The first generation 89360 was born in 2007. The biggest feature of this 89365 is that it abandons the 12-hour timing and supports the flyback timing function. This function can quickly develop segment timing, and the full chain can provide 68 hours of dynamic storage.

At the same time, the hour markers at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock have also changed from "thick squares" to rectangles, and the hand finishing has changed from matte to rhodium-plated. Overall, although the size of the dial itself has not been adapted, it gives a new and subtle look and feel.
