Swiss Replica IWC Welcomes the Year of the Dragon with a Burgundy-Toned Portugieser Chronograph

Last year, which starred the Year of the Rabbit, perfect replica IWC produced a special version of its Portugieser Automatic time-only model with a burgundy dial with gold-plated appliqués and a rabbit engraved on the rotor. This year, the more complicated 1:1 fake IWC Portugieser Chronograph gets a Chinese New Year makeover to celebrate the upcoming Year of the Wood Dragon.

One of luxury replica IWC’s most famous collections, the Portugieser was designed in 1939 to the specifications of two Portuguese merchants (hence the name) who wanted the precision of IWC’s desk clocks miniaturised into a wristwatch. Chronographs made their way into the collection in 1995 with a sophisticated rattrapante (ref. 3712) followed by a simplified chronograph without rattrapante, powered by a Valjoux-based movement (ref. IW3714). In 2020, the outsourced movement was replaced by a manufacture column-wheel automatic to become the aaa quality replica IWC ref. IW3716, the same base that is used for the Year of the Dragon.

The 41mm stainless steel case of high quality fake IWC has a thickness of 13mm and features piston-style pushers and an extremely slim bezel, offering an expansive view of the dial. Dressier and more elegant than a beefy sports chronograph, the 3716 has no external scales, no traces of luminescent material on the dial and is only water-resistant to 30m.

Red and gold are a symbolic colour combination in China associated with luck, joy and passion, featured extensively for festivities and weddings. To celebrate the Year of the Dragon, cheap replica IWC has selected a rich burgundy tone for the dial, elegantly offset with gold-plated appliqués (indices) and powder-gold print for the inscriptions.

Taking design cues from its 1995 ancestor, the vertical arrangement of the two snailed registers (30-min totaliser at noon and small seconds at 6 o’clock) is respected, as are the elegant gold-plated leaf-style hour and minute hands, the applied Arabic numerals, the dots on the minutes track and the flange printed with a quarter-second scale for precision chronograph readings via the thin central seconds hand.

Powered by Swiss movement replica IWC’s in-house automatic calibre 69335, this precise and robust chronograph movement has a column wheel and a bidirectional pawl-winding system. Beating at a frequency of 28,800vph, the power reserve is 46 hours. In honour of the Year of the Dragon, the external part of the gold-plated openworked rotor hosts a detailed oriental dragon.

Swiss Replica IWC Launches Two Special Edition Big Pilot’s Watches Inspired by the G-Class

Even though it may not seem so at first glance due to differences in size, the similarities between high quality replica wristwatches and automobiles are quite astonishing upon closer examination. Both embarked on their triumphant journey in the 20th century, inspiring engineers and watchmakers to achieve technical excellence by pushing the boundaries of performance. In addition, both symbolize progress and captivate with their perfection of design. This rings particularly true when they are presented as a team, with the luxury replica IWC Big Pilot’s Watch AMG G 63 from IWC Schaffhausen being the latest example.

Released as a tribute to an almost twenty years long partnership with Mercedes-AMG, the special edition comes in two 46.5mm versions clad in unusual cases, one crafted from 18-carat Armor Gold, the other with a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) case that highlight the Swiss tradition manufacture’s prowess in engineering.

Both versions of the Big Pilot’s Watch AMG G 63 are powered by the perfect fake IWC-manufactured 52010 caliber. Parts of the winding system that are subject to particularly high stress are manufactured from virtually wear-free zirconium oxide ceramic. Developed by Swiss made replica IWC’s former Technical Director Albert Pellaton during the 1940s, the ingenious self-winding mechanism uses even the smallest movements of the rotor in both directions to build up a power reserve of seven days in two barrels. The movements are visible through tinted sapphire glass back, which feature a Mercedes-Benz star and are reminiscent of the spare wheel cover on the backside of the G-Class.

In addition to the cheap replica IWC Big Pilot’s characteristic power reserve display at 3 o’clock, both new editions feature a small second counter at 9 o’clock. The opposing subdials with external white rings imitate the typical headlights on the front side of the G-Class. The black dials are embossed with a relief-like technical structure inspired by the air intakes of Mercedes-AMG performance cars. Unlike the classic 1:1 super clone IWC Big Pilot’s Watch, which has printed numerals and indices, these special editions feature appliques that have been PVD-coated in black and filled with luminous material.

The starting point for manufacturing a CMC copy watch case is a conventional carbon-fiber reinforced polymer. In a heat treatment called pyrolysis, lasting several days, the polymer matrix is converted to carbon, leaving behind a dense weave of fibers embedded in a porous carbon matrix. Subsequently, silicon crystals are placed on top of the component, and everything is heated in an oven. During this so-called siliconization, silicon is pulled into the cavities and chemically reacts with the carbon, forming a new matrix made of silicon carbide ceramic. After finishing with diamond tools, the CMC cases exhibit a matte black color and a unique structure determined by the fibers, making each piece truly unique.

Pricing for the IWC Ref. IW506201 replica for men is marked at $42,400.
