Have you ever wondered what perfection in a dress watch looks like? Well, wonder no more, because the 2024 Aps IWC Portuguese Seven-Day series—lovingly nicknamed ‘New Port Seven’—is ready to steal your heart and your wrist space. With stunning upgrades that emphasize style, comfort, and functionality, this is truly a watch designed for connoisseurs.

Let’s talk about the case first. While maintaining its impressive 42.4mm diameter, the thickness of the new Portuguese Seven has been reduced from 14.1mm to a sleek 13mm. Now, that may sound like just a 1mm difference, but believe me, for dress watches, it’s a game changer! That magical 13mm is often considered the sweet spot for both elegance and comfort. No more teasing about your dress watch being as thick as a dive watch!

Moving on to the mirror, IWC took a bold step to enhance the wearer’s experience. They’ve introduced a domed sapphire crystal for the front, offering not just a slimmer feel but also a highly polished aesthetic. What’s even more impressive? The back of the watch also features a domed sapphire crystal, making the exhibition caseback an absolute treat for those who love admiring intricate mechanical movements.

And what about the dial? Oh, they didn’t hold back there either. The new model says goodbye to the 9 o’clock track-style markings on the small seconds subdial. Plus, the power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock has been made more subtle, ditching the previous red marking for a cleaner look. The result? A highly refined, minimalist dial design that feels cohesive and elegant.

In summary, the 2024 Aps IWC Portuguese Seven-Day series is not just a watch—it’s a statement. With these thoughtful enhancements, it’s clear that Aps is committed to delivering nothing less than masterpieces. So, if sophistication and refinement are what you’re looking for, this watch deserves your serious consideration.
