The IWC Portuguese 7-Day Automatic is taking the watch world by storm with its classic charm and modern upgrades. Have you ever stumbled upon a timepiece that makes you almost gasp in delight? Well, the new Portuguese 7 could be your next wrist obsession!

First up, the case. Keeping its impressive 42.4mm diameter, IWC has shaved off an entire millimeter from the thickness, reducing it from 14.1mm to a very sleek 13mm. For those who know, 13mm is the golden number for evaluating a watch’s thickness and comfort. This change puts the Portuguese 7 in a league of its own as a dress watch, no longer competing with the thickness of diver watches!

The crystal is another triumph. With a domed sapphire crystal design, not only does it offer more room for the hands to glide elegantly but it ups the ante on aesthetics. And the folks at IWC didn’t skimp on the back either—it’s a transparent sapphire canvas showcasing the watch’s intricate movement, like a masterpiece in an art gallery.

Talking about the dial—it’s been given a fresh makeover. Gone are the small seconds track marks at 9 o’clock. Plus, the power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock no longer sports red in the ‘1’ zone. These tweaks make for a cleaner, more sophisticated dial design. The new layout emphasizes the harmony of the dial while ensuring that simplicity doesn’t compromise elegance.

So, dear watch enthusiasts, if you are on the hunt for something premium, the APS-crafted Portuguese 7 is definitely worth a closer look. The ingenuity and craftsmanship are simply undeniable!
