Let me take you on a brief journey into the intricacies of a timepiece that’s nothing short of a masterpiece – the APS Portuguese Series Perpetual Calendar Watch. Known for its complex functionalities, this watch does more than just tell time. It orchestrates various functions with precision and elegance that could make any watch enthusiast’s heart skip a beat.
The watch boasts a stunning display; at 12 o’clock, you’ll find a sun-moon-stars indicator, while 9 o’clock offers an independent small second hand paired with a day indicator. The 6 o’clock position features a month marker that works in tandem with a year display at 7 o’clock, adjusting year every 12 months. As you glance at 3 o’clock, the iconic power reserve and date indicators take center stage, with each hand perfectly functional, unlike those sticky imposters from lesser brands.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the watch case mimics its original with a three-piece structure that includes polished top and bottom and a brushed middle. The sapphire glass dome enhances its allure, adding to the overall sophisticated feel of the watch.
In terms of performance, the watch measures 42.2mm by 14.9mm and is powered by the reliable Portuguese base movement. It offers an impressive power reserve exceeding 72 hours and features an intricate perpetual calendar module that’s adjusted via the crown seamlessly, just like the original.
Before shipping, every timepiece undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure your perpetual calendar is perfectly synced. Once you’ve received your watch, just wind it and wear it without the hassle of adjustments. However, should you need to tweak it, always adjust to 8 PM first, then set the weekday manually. To adjust the month, pull the crown and turn it upwards, syncing the year every 12 months, and for the calendar, turn downwards three times.
At APS, every watch is crafted with heart and precision, beginning with the smallest details.
