Attention watch enthusiasts! The all-new Portuguese Seven-Day Automatic by IWC has arrived, bringing with it a slew of exciting upgrades that are sure to dazzle. The Portuguese series is renowned for its signature large dials matched with Arabic numerals and elegant feuille hands, both iconic features of its DNA. But, wait until you hear about the enhancements packed into this stunning timepiece!

First up, the case. While maintaining the same diameter of 42.4mm, the new Portuguese Seven-Day has remarkably reduced its thickness from 14.1mm to a sleek 13mm. That 1mm may seem minor, but in the world of formal watches, where elegance and comfort are paramount, this change is monumental. Finally, this watch won’t face criticism for being thicker than a dive watch!

Now, let’s talk about the sapphire crystal. In pursuit of a thinner profile, IWC has opted for a dome-shaped sapphire crystal. This not only gives the hands more space to move but also significantly enhances the watch’s aesthetics. The back of the timepiece doesn’t fall short either, featuring a dome-shaped sapphire for an uninterrupted view of its beauty.

Last but not least, the dial has undergone noticeable modifications. The new model has eliminated the track-style scale for the small seconds at 9 o’clock. Additionally, the power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock no longer displays a red ‘1.’ These design refinements give the watch a clean and polished look, emphasizing the dial’s harmonious design.

In summary, IWC’s Portuguese Seven-Day Automatic delivers a fresh yet classic appeal, ensuring it remains a premium choice for discerning watch aficionados.
