In the world of sophisticated watchmaking, APS has crafted something extraordinary – the APS Portuguese Series Perpetual Calendar watch. It’s not just a timepiece; it’s a marvel of complexity and precision.

Starting with the dial, you’ll notice the intricate design featuring celestial indicators at the 12 o’clock position. The 9 o’clock spot displays an independent seconds hand and weekday indicators, while the 6 o’clock position showcases the month hand, intricately linked to the year display at 7 o’clock. Every 12 months, the year advances seamlessly. Meanwhile, the classic power reserve and date indicators grace the 3 o’clock position, ensuring that each needle operates with precision, unlike lesser models with glued-together hands.

Attention to detail extends beyond the dial. The case mirrors the original with meticulous three-piece construction – brushed sides with polished top and bottom, crowned with a high-quality sapphire crystal dome for enhanced aesthetics.

Under the hood, the 42.2mm by 14.9mm dimensions house a robust movement based on the Portugal Seven core, providing 72+ hours of power. This is complemented by the intricate perpetual calendar module, allowing all functions to be adjusted via the crown, matching the original in capability.

Quality control is paramount; hence, each piece is adjusted for accurate timekeeping before shipment. Remember, if adjustment is necessary, set the time to 8 PM first, align the weekday manually, and then rotate the crown to adjust the month (linked with the year) and date.

APS truly redefines watchmaking with dedication, enhancing every detail for those who appreciate the art of horology.
