Meet the APS Portuguese Series Perpetual Calendar Watch, a marvel in the world of horology. Renowned as one of the most intricate replicas, this timepiece is a testament to precision engineering where every functionality mirrors the original, and all controls are at your fingertips via the crown.
Functionality Overview: At the 12 o’clock position, you’ll marvel at the day-night display. The 9 o’clock subdial showcases an independent small second hand and day indicator. At 6 o’clock, it features a month pointer synchronized with the year display at 7 o’clock, advancing once each year. The 3 o’clock position hosts the classic power reserve and date indicators. Each hand is fully functional, setting a high benchmark against lesser imitations with glued pointers.
Exquisite Craftsmanship: The case construction mirrors the original with the same three-part design, featuring a brushed finish in the middle and polished upper and lower parts. The crystal is crafted from high-cost domed sapphire, adding a touch of luxury to the watch’s aesthetic.
Movement Performance: Measuring 42.2mm by 14.9mm, the watch is powered by a base movement inspired by the Portuguese seven-day caliber. Known for its efficiency and stability, it boasts a power reserve exceeding 72 hours. The added perpetual calendar module remains true to the original design, enabling all functions to be adjusted through the crown.
Quality Control: Due to the complexity of the perpetual calendar module, each watch is calibrated before shipping. Upon receiving, simply wind and wear. Important note: Avoid random adjustments. If adjustments are needed, first set the time to 8 PM before proceeding. Adjust the week manually, turn the crown upwards to set the month (linked to the year), and turn it downwards about three times to adjust the calendar.
Through meticulous attention to detail, APS brings this masterpiece to life, ensuring an exceptional wristwatch experience.
