Have you ever met a timepiece that blends precision with elegance so effortlessly? The latest APS IWC Portuguese Automatic is here to redefine sophistication in the world of watches. With enhancements that surprise even the most seasoned watch enthusiasts, the new ‘portuguese’ is nothing short of a masterpiece.

One of the most exciting upgrades is the case. Maintaining the classic 42.4mm diameter, the thickness has been reduced from 14.1mm to an impressive 13mm. For those who know, this is a critical benchmark that influences the comfort and style of a dress watch. Finally, say goodbye to the criticism that your dress watch looks like a dive watch!

The crystal is another highlight. IWC has chosen a dome-shaped sapphire crystal, offering more space for the hands to move while ramping up the aesthetics. On top of that, APS has spared no expense by also using a sapphire crystal for the watch back, giving observers a clear view of the intricate workings within.

There have been noticeable changes to the dial as well. Gone is the track-style scale on the small seconds sub-dial at the 9 o’clock position. Additionally, the power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock no longer uses a red section for the ‘1’ area. These design refinements contribute to a cleaner, more integrated look, emphasizing the unity of the watch face.

APS delivers nothing less than excellence—this is a timepiece that exceeds all expectations!
