The watch features a 42.4mm stainless steel case with a more slender profile, complemented by front and back box-style sapphire crystals for a sophisticated and elegant appearance. Water-resistant to 50 meters, it's suitable for everyday wear. The dial is in a burgundy hue, echoing the festive colors of the Lunar New Year while showcasing the Portugieser series' signature symmetrical aesthetics. Gold hands paired with Arabic numeral hour markers provide clear readability and add a sleek, modern touch. The dial layout maintains a classic design: a small seconds sub-seconds at 9 o'clock, a power reserve indicator at 3 o'clock, and a discreet date window at 6 o'clock, combining practicality and aesthetics.

The watch is powered by the 52011 automatic movement, vibrating 28,800 times per hour and containing 31 jewels. It features IWC's renowned Pellaton winding system, incorporating virtually wear-resistant ceramic components. Through the bidirectional movement of the rotor, it accumulates a power reserve of up to seven days (168 hours) for the two mainspring barrels. The sapphire crystal case back allows the wearer to admire the gold-plated rotor, which IWC has specially designed in the shape of a galloping horse – a vivid detail and auspicious symbolism, echoing the spirit of the Year of the Horse.

The watch comes with two straps: a classic black alligator leather strap and a burgundy alligator leather strap to complement the dial color. The former is understated and versatile, while the latter creates a more harmonious overall look. Both straps are fitted with a stainless steel folding clasp, making them suitable for formal occasions as well as offering flexible wearing options https://www.aomwatches.is/.
