Appreciation of the IWC Portugieser Ref.5454 Watch

　　As early as 1993,IWCthe watch had achieved great glory. At that time, to celebrate its 125th anniversary, the Schaffhausen manufacture specially reintroduced the Portugieser model born in 1939 to the market as the best example of its outstanding skills and craftsmanship. This sparked the initial creation of the most important collection of IWC Schaffhausen watches. The "IWC Vintage Collection" released to commemorate the manufacture's 140th anniversary naturally also includes a contemporary reinterpretation of this classic watch masterpiece. Next, let us appreciate this IWC watch together.

　　Introduction to the IWC Portugieser Ref.5454 Watch

　　Portugieser Hand-Wound Ref.5454, stainless steel case, 44 mm diameter, calibre 98295 manual-winding movement, sapphire crystal glass and case back, water-resistant to 3 0 metres, alligator leather strap

　　The newly launched Portugieser Hand-Wound watch once again bridges the past and the present, writing another brand-new chapter in the story of this historic timepiece. The clean Portugieser collection combines a timeless, elegant design language with watchmaking craftsmanship that was already considered perfect at its inception, making it one of the very few watches recognised by industry experts and collectors as truly representing noble taste amidst constantly changing trends. Because true gold fears no fire, only genuine value can endure. Its iconic design elements, such as the case shape, size, and dial design, are uncompromising.

　　Calibre 98295 manual-winding movement, balance wheel with high-precision micro-adjustment cams on the balance arms, Breguet overcoil hairspring, 3/4 wheel train bridge, nickel-silver plate and bridges, elongated index for precise adjustment, characteristic decoration (Geneva stripes), small seconds with stop device, 46-hour power reserve

　　In the red gold model of the Portugieser Hand-Wound watch, which features a slate-coloured dial, rose gold-plated Arabic numerals, and iconic feuille hands, the small seconds subdial is particularly eye-catching, with the signal red "60" numeral standing out. In terms of the drive mechanism, it uses the IWC-manufactured calibre 98295 movement, which stylistically echoes the original Jones movement, featuring a nickel-silver 3/4 plate and an elongated index for precise adjustment of the active length of the hairspring. Through this quiet and understated exquisite watch, the manufacture recalls its origins while once again celebrating the original Portugieser watch—because even in the distant past, they were already so close to the ideal model of a perfect mechanical watch.
