IWC Portugieser 2020ZF ZF Factory Review

The IWC Portugieser 2020ZF model is produced by ZF Factory with a high-tech ceramic case, 40 mm diameter and high-precision automatic Super Clone mechanism architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

Let's start with the manufacturer's statement: ZF produced the 2020 IWC New Portugieser 40 with great effort and meticulousness. Same IWC, but a different Portugieser; It puts aside complex design and expresses its aesthetic understanding with fewer elements.

[Case] 40 mm size, large dial; the lugs are polished, the side surface of the case is brushed. The case form is simple and fluid, slightly bearing the superior genes of German watches.

[Dial] Sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating. The dial features classic leaf-shaped hour and minute hands, three-dimensional Arabic numerals, applique hour markers and, as a finishing touch, rail-type minute markers. The small seconds dial at 6 o'clock has a plaque pattern decoration. All in all simple and easy to read.

[Mechanism] IWC's own production 82200 movement is exactly reflected; The Pellaton automatic winding system, of which IWC is most proud, is presented flawlessly. It offers unlimited surprises in matters such as the mechanism's bridge layout, hardware and winding feel.

ZF production guarantees superior quality; Equipped with a crocodile leather strap, it provides the user with an excellent usage experience.

The dial surface is not pure white; When you look carefully, you can see that it is a slightly greyish, silver-plated dial. Blue numerals and minute markers are classic elements of the Portugieser series. Workmanship is the same as the original.

Glass detail: the glass of the dial is not flat, slightly protruding; It has a slight curve like the original.

The polished steel ring around the outer perimeter of the glass is not an ordinary curved semicircle, but a concave design. This largely prevents the wear caused by daily contact.

The folding clasp bears the IWC logo. As a buckle factory, ZF's craftsmanship is beyond doubt.

On the movement side, ZF used the custom-made 82200 movement. The black ceramic gears and lugs of the IWC-specific 'Pellaton' winding mechanism, as well as IWC's iconic oversized balance wheel, combined with the circular gold trim provide a finishing touch; In this way, the whole mechanism does not look too plain. The similarity rate is also quite high.

In summary: ZF Factory 2020 IWC New Portugieser Small Seconds 40 Series replica watch retains the usual large factory workmanship and reflects the original to the maximum extent. The overall workmanship is exquisite, worth buying; I recommend. I hope this article will be useful to you.
